Maritime Safety and Security (MarSafe)
MarSafe is an interdisciplinary research group working on maritime safety.
Researchers connected to MarSafe work closely with the maritime industry and relevant public authorities.
Members participate in ongoing research projects on digital navigation tools, seafarers’ working and living conditions, safety management, operational leadership, cybersecurity, fire safety, ISPS, maritime emergency response, and maritime regulation.
