  1. Crew Endurance Management System (CEMS) A Real World Solution

  2. The Issues • What is CEMS? • Why implement CEMS? • What benefit is there? • What kind of support is available?

  3. Crew Endurance The ability to maintain performance within safety limits while enduring job-related physiological, psychological, and environmental challenges.

  4. Crew Endurance Management System A systematic process for managing the risk factors that can lead to human error and performance degradation in maritime work environments.

  5. Commercial Towing Operations 24 Hours a Day 7 Days a Week

  6. Our Goal: Continuous Improvement • Proactive Step • Coast Guard Support

  7. Energy and Alertness Levels During the Day Energy Daylight Daylight 1200 2100 0700 1200 Time of Day

  8. Q:How can Performance Degradation be prevented ? A:By shifting the Biological Clock… ONLY through proper LightManagement and proper amounts of uninterrupted sleep.

  9. Endurance Risk Factors Health & Nutrition Sleep Quality & Duration Stress Body Clock Stability ENDURANCE Environmental Stressors Motion Sickness Physical Conditioning Work Schedules

  10. Coast Guard-AWO Safety Partnership The Mechanism for CEMS Support

  11. What CEMS Provides • A field tested, non-regulatory solution • An opportunity to act proactively • Improved operational effectiveness • Improved mission effectiveness

  12. Development of CEMS REAL WORLD SCIENCE/LAB

  13. CEMS Implementation In the Commercial Maritime Towing Community

  14. Analyze Current Situation Train Working Group Set Up Working Group Train Entire Crew Deployment: 2 Coach Crew Implement CEP Evaluate Results Working Group Modifies Cycle Assessment: 3 The CEM Process Development: 1 Create Crew Endurance Plan

  15. Upper Mgmt Vertical Alignment Middle Management Vessel Management Vessel Crews & Support Personnel Management Commitment At All Levels

  16. CEMS Coaches To Introduce and Implement • Must be the champions of CEMS • Must believe in CEMS and the process • Must have full management commitment at all levels (vertical alignment)

  17. CEM Guide • Defines Risk Factors • Provides a Step-By-Step Method to Identify relevant risk factors Mitigate identified risk factors

  18. Example of CEMS-Generated Vessel Improvements Blocking Out Light Intrusion

  19. Example of CEMS-Generated Vessel Improvements Noise Reduction

  20. Other Examples of Vessel Modifications • Air Cleaners (reduce Carbon Monoxide) • Lighting Improvements • Nighttime Adaptation • Watch Schedule Changes • Day Room Improvements • Nutritional Content Of Meals Improvements • Napping Policies / Better Mattresses & Pillows • Air Flow / Temperature

  21. In Conclusion… Why Is CEMS Important? • Unchecked endurance factors affect alertness and long-term health of mariners

  22. What are the Benefits? • CEMS is a field tested, non-regulatory solution • CEMS packages scientific knowledge for use in improving the living and working environment of mariners • CEMS improves operational safety and mission effectiveness

  23. What Is Required? • Management support at all levels • Trained coaches and support materials • Working Groups for each vessel • Development of Crew Endurance Plan for each vessel • Working Group management of Crew Endurance Plan implementation

  24. What Support is Available? The Coast Guard - AWO Safety Partnership Working Together to Improve Maritime Towing Operations
