Fatigue Management

 
  Most accidents caused by fatigue follow a lack of sleep or poor-quality sleep. Maritime New Zealand (MNZ) has developed a range of resources to help seafarers, vessel owners and managers in the maritime industry better understand and manage fatigue, to prevent fatigue-related accidents.

MNZ is introducing the fatigue management programme for vessels in SSM through the SSM companies and maritime safety inspectors who have been provided with training.

The programme has three levels, ie for crew and the skipper; for vessel owners and managers; and for the SSM companies and maritime safety inspectors.
