Inmarsat and SeaFocus are calling for students interested in the maritime industry and maritime safety to join the Future of Safety Intelligence Hunt project.
Inmarsat and SeaFocus are joining forces to examine data from Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) calls made to Inmarsat in order to provide insights into safety trends and reveal patterns at a local and global level. A better understanding of these patterns can help the maritime industry take proactive steps to prevent such incidents and help guide us to a safer future.
The project will run under the SeaFocus Intelligence Hunt programme. The new and revised Intelligence Hunt concept combines a wealth of experience with new talent in a dynamic team which works on a case assignment for the Intelligence Hunt case companies.
SeaFocus – Supply Chain and Maritime Business Platform with a Focus on Talent Shortage
SeaFocus is a supply chain and maritime business platform which generates new business opportunities for its partners and stakeholders. It introduces new customers or suppliers, supports recruitment by promoting suitable candidates, provides consulting services, and organises premium events with high-profile networking opportunities – the ultimate target of SeaFocus is to use its immense expertise and network to benefit its partners and stakeholders.
Inmarsat – A World Leader in Global Mobile Satellite Communications
Inmarsat was established in 1979 by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to develop a satellite communications network for protecting lives at sea. Inmarsat was the first satellite operator to meet the stringent requirements of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) for global safety communications.
Today Inmarsat has the world’s most advanced and resilient mobile connectivity infrastructure to ensure that the satellite services are not only saving lives but also providing a connectivity lifeline in the most remote and challenging locations. Inmarsat’s world-leading satellite networks touch every aspect of life all over the planet to keep communities, companies and countries connected when it matters most – even during the most turbulent times.
Intelligence Hunt Talent Team to Provide In-depth Insights into Safety Trends for the Inmarsat Annual Report on Maritime Safety
Inmarsat produces an annual report on The Future of Maritime Safety. The report provides insights into safety trends gathered from GMDSS distress data categorised by vessel types, shipyards, class society, flag states and year of build and reveals patterns at a local and global level.
Data is key not only to tracking trends but also to addressing gaps in the approach to safety. The Intelligence Hunt project aims to enhance the safety report by using in-depth research methodology and providing vital insights into the safety data patterns. Anonymised data holds the potential to demonstrate trends that can be benchmarked to track progress. It will allow us to know for a fact that something is an issue rather than relying on conjecture or gut instinct.
“We are looking forward to working with young talent and an experienced team of experts to bring The Future of Safety report to the next level and gain a deeper understanding of how to improve safety at sea”, says Peter Broadhurst, SVP Safety & Regulatory, Inmarsat Maritime. “We have the data, but we need a benchmark to get the companies to understand the value and importance of using this data to develop and support their business”.
