Summary: Explores how we can minimize risk without hindering technology. This book presents an analysis of key issues, such as domestic versus foreign manning practices and safety performance; effect of crew size on crew fatigue, level of training, and ship maintenance; and modernizing the US Coast Guard approach to crew size regulation.
