Information Notice 2014-002: FATIGUE MANAGEMENT

The recently published case regarding the grounding of the m.v. Danio serves as a reminder of the importance of Fatigue Management in ensuring the safe operations of ships.The report highlighted that the Officer on Watch had been working excessive hours in the period before the grounding. It also highlights that Hours of Rest records had been found to be falsified; which of course does not assist with proper Fatigue Management or monitoring.
