El jefe del Centro de Control de Tráfico y Salvamento Marítimo de Fisterra, Manuel Capeáns, es capaz de resumir en cifras los 20 años que han transcurrido desde la marea negra del Prestige y, entre ellas, se fija en una: en el medio millar de incidencias en la navegación “importantes” vividas en dos décadas.

 

“Quedar a la deriva”, explica Capeáns en una entrevista con Efe, ha sido la única coincidencia entre esos 500 casos resueltos de modo satisfactorio y el desastre ecológico del resquebrajado petrolero repleto de fuel que en 2002, después de seis días de rumbo errático esparciendo su carga, se partió y zozobró. 

¿Estamos expuestos a la posibilidad de un accidente?

Dr Malcolm Cook examines the changes taking place in maritime, as a human element expert and member of the IMarEST’s Human Element Working Group, dispelling myths about how people act and think, in the context of preventing accidents and promoting safety.

The changes that are happening in maritime will present new problems and new challenges. Greater awareness about the role of accidents in the learning process, promoting safety culture and understanding how the human operators respond to accidents will make for a safer transition.

Numbers from trade body CLIA suggest passenger volumes could recover and surpass 2019 levels by the end of 2023. Yet an increased appetite to go cruising brings with it a renewed focus on health and safety: as the management of Covid risks recedes as a priority, some are wondering at how fit-for-purpose current evacuation procedures are for today’s mega-size cruise liners, which can be a floating home to more than
