IMO Conference in Indonesia

Lack of ferry safety is a problem in many parts of the world where ferry travel is not discretionary and accounts for loss of lives and limits economic development.

Since 2005, Interferry and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) have been seeking to address this problem, working with Bangladesh and other developing nations/emerging markets. In Bangladesh, the Ferry Safety Working Group sought and tested a training course designed for crews. This open source course is now freely available upon registration by request to ferrysafety@gmail.com.

IMO also led the planning and implementation of two Ferry Safety Information Sharing Forums in Indonesia and the South Pacific, with others proposed for China and Africa.

Worldwide Ferry Safety Association, in cooperation with Interferry and IMO, builds on this work and launched a Design Competition for Safe Affordable Ferries and an open source Crew Training Course.

 
 
The Worldwide Ferry Safety Association is a not-for-profit dedicated to bringing innovation in training methods, as well as use of technology to provide notification for sudden hazardous weather, curb overloading, and enhance marine rescue technology. We encourage innovative new ideas in ferry safety and design. To that end WFSA is sponsoring a design competition for safe affordable ferries. The competition is open for registration now.
