Services for Companies

Practical human factor support for maritime operations. Each service addresses specific operational challenges with measurable outcomes.

Human factors — fatigue, communication, decision-making, leadership — are not welfare issues. They are operational risks that affect your safety records, your vetting scores, and your bottom line.

We help maritime companies address these factors with programs that fit your operations, meet compliance expectations, and create real capability in your crews and shore teams.

Human Factor & Behavioral Training

The Operational Problem

Human error contributes to 80% of maritime incidents. Technical competence alone is not sufficient. Crews need awareness and skills to manage the psychological and behavioral factors that affect safety.

Safety Culture & Organizational Consulting

The Operational Problem

Regulatory expectations around crew wellbeing and human factors are increasing. Many organizations lack the internal expertise to develop programs that meet these expectations and actually work in practice.

What We Provide

Practical consulting to help you build sustainable crew welfare programs, integrate human factors into your operations, and develop a safety culture that goes beyond compliance.

Outcomes for Your Organization

• Documented policies that satisfy vetting requirements
• Practical programs that shore and ship staff can implement
• Reduced human factor incidents and near-misses
• Improved crew retention and satisfaction
• Demonstrated compliance with industry standards
• Stronger position in audits and inspections

Psychological First Aid Programs

The Operational Problem

Incidents at sea — accidents, medical emergencies, violence, piracy, fatalities — can overwhelm crew members. Without structured response, the psychological impact affects safety, decision-making, and can lead to unplanned repatriations.

What We Provide

Structured PFA programs that equip your shore teams and designated onboard personnel to respond effectively to critical incidents. Training, protocols, and remote support capability.

Outcomes for Your Organization

• Immediate stabilization of affected crew members
• Reduced risk of long-term psychological impact
• Crew able to continue safe operations
• Documentation for incident reports and investigations
• Clear referral pathways when clinical support is needed
• Demonstrated duty of care for vetting and inspections

Typical Scenarios:

Accidents, injuries, or near-miss incidents onboard
Violence, harassment, or security threats
Fatalities onboard or news of death at home
Extreme weather events or navigational emergencies
Piracy, stowaway, or abandonment situations
Medical emergencies requiring difficult decisions
Extended delays causing crew distress

Note: PFA is a structured, non-clinical intervention. It is not psychotherapy or psychiatric treatment. We make appropriate referrals when clinical care is indicated.

Crew Support & Referral Pathways

The Operational Problem

Seafarers facing personal or work-related pressure often have nowhere to turn. Unaddressed issues escalate, affecting performance, creating conflicts, and leading to unplanned repatriations.

What We Provide

Confidential support services for your crew. Company-funded programs that give seafarers access to professional support when they need it, with clear referral pathways when clinical intervention is required.

Outcomes for Your Organization

• Early intervention before issues escalate
• Reduced unplanned repatriations
• Better crew retention and loyalty
• Demonstrated duty of care
• Confidentiality maintained — no reporting to employers

How It Works:

Company Agreement

You establish a support program for your crews. We define scope, access methods, and confidentiality parameters.

Crew Access

Seafarers contact us directly. Sessions are confidential — no information shared with employers without consent.

Support & Referral

We provide support within our scope. When clinical treatment is needed, we facilitate appropriate referrals.

Support for Individual Seafarers

In addition to our company services, we provide direct support to individual seafarers and their families. If you are a maritime professional seeking personal support, please see our individual services.
