PART TWO

Competent or compliant?

Seafarer readiness in modern maritime operations

Commissioned by OneOcean

 

Wednesday 24th June, 3pm BST

Thetius have partnered with OneOcean on a two-part research series. This webinar launches our second report, redefining what crew competence means today and what operators need to do differently to achieve it. 

Joined by a panel of experts, we'll discuss the findings and what they mean for how shipping companies build and sustain crew readiness across their fleets.

What you'll discover in this one-hour session:

  • Why digitalisation, regulation, workload, and evolving training approaches have raised the bar for what modern crews are expected to do.

  • Why certification alone is no longer a sufficient measure of operational readiness.

  • What genuine competence looks like in practice - and where the gaps most commonly appear.

  • How operators can treat competence as something continuously developed through daily operations, not just periodically certified.

Webinar attendees will receive early access to the full report.

About the report

Our first report showed how bridge operations have become more complex, more digital, and more demanding. It raised an uncomfortable follow-up question: if the operational environment has changed this much, are crews actually trained and equipped to perform in it?

That's what this report sets out to answer. Digitalisation has moved faster than the training frameworks designed to support it. Regulation is now embedded in daily operations. Workloads have grown, promotion timelines have shortened, and the gap between what certification proves and what modern operations actually demand has widened.
