Remote Navigation Audits and Incident Investigation- VDR Analysis

VDR Analysis stands as an indispensable and highly effective tool in averting ‘Navigational Incidents.’ Despite technological advancements, the significance of “Situational Awareness” and the “Human Element” in ensuring safe ship-board navigation remains paramount. It continues to be the focal point of rigorous quality control checks through audits and inspections.

Our operational scope involves the meticulous analysis of VDR Data to conduct Remote Navigational Audits/Compliance, aligning with OCIMF recommendations. This proactive analysis serves as a vital instrument for evaluating bridge team performance, pinpointing areas for improvement, and implementing preventive measures. It further reinforces a positive operational safety culture within the bridge team.

Emphasizing the proactive stance, we believe that learning from past experiences is the most effective means to circumvent potential future incidents.

At Varenya Maritime, our approach to accident, incident, and near-miss investigations is characterized by a commitment to understanding the root causes rather than assigning blame. The invaluable lessons gleaned from these investigations are transformed into a robust action plan, ensuring immediate corrective measures and the formulation of strategies to prevent similar incidents in the future.
