two ships,pays out USS4 million in claims and radicallychanges the lives of hundreds of people for ever.Human behaviour is the source of virtually all such loss.It is also the reason why the loss is not greater.This book is dedicated to the professionalism of seafarers everywhere,andto the growing number of seafaring organisations who want to know howto guide human behaviour in a safer and more profitable direction.  \n## Foreword\n\nWe've heard many views  \non the human element'in  \nthe marine industry.The  \nonly thing that exceeds  \nour use of the expression  \nis our overall lackof  \nunderstanding of it.  \nIsat an examination on human factorsformyprivate pilots licence.It was arevelation,saving me from potentially fatalconsequences on at least one occasion.  \nIbelieve this book will go a long waytofillingthe knowledgegap in the shipping industry.It will not only helpus run safer ships butmore efficient ones as well.It should helpconvert the common beliefthat our officersand crews are ourgreatest hazard to themore accurate view that they are really ourgreatest asset  \nIhope a well-thumbed copy will sit on theshelf ofevery ship and shipping office nextto the
