Invitation to participate in important maritime safety study
Published: 29 November 2022
BIMCO is supporting a study conducted by the World Maritime University for the European Maritime Safety Agency to identify potential safety issues related to COVID-19 and the risks that may contribute to maritime accidents and incidents.
The study aims to provide insight and figures on the COVID-19 potential impact on shipping safety, including the seafarers’ well-being and ship operations. The study will identify changes to the “normal operations” for ships and companies due to the COVID-19 outbreak and assess if these changes to the “normal operations” for ships and companies may have generated possible safety issues or emerging risks that did not appear in the pre-pandemic period. The study will also determine how stakeholders tackled these issues during the pandemic.
What is involved?
As per the standard practice, the research methodology has been rigorously reviewed and approved by the World Maritime University Research Ethics Committee. The interview is expected to last between 45 minutes to one hour. All voluntary participants have the right to stop the interview or withdraw from the research at any time, and personal data will be immediately deleted upon request.
Anonymized research data will be archived on a secure drive linked to a World Maritime University email address. All the data will be deleted after the completion of the research.
Ethical procedures for academic research undertaken by the University require that interviewees explicitly agree to be interviewed and as to how the information contained in their interview will be used.
