This article is a follow-up study of the results of Marine Profile assessments made for a major cruise operator. The study covers 459 deck and engine officers assessed prior to employment between the years 1996 and 2000. It is now complemented with recent statistics from the operator’s insurance company covering navigational claims for the same shipowner and in comparison with other shipowners. The statistics show that there has been no navigational claims over USD 10,000 between the years 1998 – 2007.

Just send us an email to marine@marine-profile.se and we will be glad to send you PDF’s or the required number of hard copies of this study complemented with the new statistics.
