Why are training and competence at the heart of the human element in shipping? HTW 12 (Feb 2026)

The ‘human element’ in shipping refers to the effect of human actions on the safety and efficiency of maritime operations. It recognises that people are central to ensuring safety at sea and the protection of the marine environment, as they underpin the operation, management and support of ships throughout their entire lifecycle. In this context, training and competence are fundamental, as it is through well-trained and competent personnel that safe and effective operations are achieved.
The wide-ranging scope and importance of the human element make it a shared responsibility of IMO, as the regulatory body; Member States, as implementers; companies, as providers of the necessary resources, safety policies and safety culture; and seafarers, as the individuals who physically operate ships.
This is why the human element is a strategic direction and an overarching principle in the Strategic Plan of IMO, guiding the development and implementation of both new and existing requirements to ensure the safe, secure and environmentally sound operation of ships.

Fairwater: The Evolution of an Idea
The story starts with a simple idea, a vision to redefine how the maritime industry moves and sustains itself. But an idea is only as strong as the chapters that support it. At Fairwater, we aren’t just writing a business plan; we are authoring a new era of marine supply and service.
