Cutting crews is causing accidents says MAIB chief.
(From Lloyds List)
Byline: Meyer slams cost-saving measures as casualties rise, writes David Osler
PREVENTABLE accidents are happening at sea because owners are cutting crewing levels to save money, Britain's shipping safety boss has warned.
The Maritime Accident Investigation Branch will take up this issue throughout this year, promised Stephen Meyer, chief inspector of marine accidents, in the organisation's annual report.
Mr Meyer said that the 1,522 accidents and incidents reported to MAIB in 2003 represented 'a disappointing [and depressingly consistent] number'.
The number of accidents to ships was 689, up by just over 13%.
All told, there were 27 deaths on all categories of British-flag vessels, with three of these onboard merchant ships.
