Understanding how young millennial seafarers think is the first step to training them effectively: an introduction to a generational mindset shift.

A ten-year study of over 50,000 inspection observations shows fire safety, LSA, and ISM remain the leading causes of deficiencies, not new regulations.

Today's seafarers have a shorter attention span than a goldfish. Why that's not a flaw to fix, but a design constraint maritime training must meet.
