Driving shipping's safety culture change with anonymised data

Peter Broadhurst, of Inmarsat Maritime, suggests the industry can do more with the data it already holds

Shipping generates an abundance of safety data, but as an industry we are not extracting maximum value from this information. Analysis can be executed in isolation, and findings are often not communicated to all stakeholders. To improve safety at sea it is critical to understand how anonymised data can help to focus on where proactive measures are most needed.
