DM-ETRAMS - Research on requirements for a future maritime Electronic Task Risk Assessment and Management System

Docmap has entered a partnership with the Swedish ferry company Stena Line. It is the goal of the partnership to conduct an R&D Innovation Project under the MAROFF programme and to apply for funding. This project will be called DM-ETRAMS (Docmap Electroni c Task Risk Assessment and Management System). Project objectives: Docmap and its partner will design and develop a solution that will help the maritime industry to significantly reduce accidents and incidents by applying the following key concepts: 1) Task Risk Assessment with companywide established standards 2) increase risk awareness by sharing relevant risk and hazard information within the company, department, fleet, etc. 3) distribute best practice information and processes to relevant parts in the organization 4) Facilitation of mobility: Assess risks at the place where they occur DM-ETRAMS will come up with the design of an integrated Task Risk Assessment and Management system that brings together personnel-,environment-, task-, effect-, haza rd-, and control measure data into a well-functioning whole. It addresses all factors of TRA and creates a consistent framework for risk management under different standards. In the project Docmap would like to research on algorithm, interface and integ ration issues for the Electronic Task Risk Assessment on maritime vessels/platforms. Docmap will be responsible for conducting research on how to design a system which allows 1. capturing of relevant risk information at any place on board of vessels 2. the crew to make smart decisions by including best practice information into their Risk Assessment 3. to include second opinion in the decision process and thus significantly reduce risk/damage/losses. Docmap will also facilitate sea-land data exchange . Docmap will be supported by Stena Line, which will provide input and reality checks concerning user interface, algorithm and general usability. It is planned to install a test system on one of Stena Line's vessel
