The main advantages of VDR / SVDR analysis, is that by studying / evaluating fleet relative data on a regular basis can arrest a casualty from its occurrence at near-miss stages, helping ship management companies to get useful evidence and suggest improvements, thereby training the manpower (shore & ship) on compliances and good practices. In particular an effective, accurate and proper documented VDR / SVDR analysis report, can be considered as very efficient tool for, ship management companies, in the following fields:

  • Providing valuable information about near-misses o/b.
  • Assisting for creating procedures to avoid accidents.
  • Design “toll” for training schemes.
  • Effective controlling of performance productivity.
  • Assisting in safety improvement.
  • Minimization of running costs including Fuel savings / equipment statuses etc.
  • There are further advantages when VDR / SVDR analysis reports are carried out by a third-party. Personality and bias can be removed from the assessment process and an impartial assessment of both company procedures and bridge team performance made. Analysis of the assessment and recommendations for improvement can then be made to managers ashore as well as to masters and officers at sea.
