The SEAHORSE project aims to develop shipping safety achieved through technology transfer from air transport to marine transport focusing on human factor problems in an innovative, integrated and multidisciplinary manner towards safer and more resilient shipping operations.

By taking a pioneering and original approach the SEAHORSE consortium aims to achieve meaningful improvements in shipping safety by addressing human and organisational factors with the introduction of the following innovative concepts: Enhanced understanding and identification of underlying reasons for marine accidents and execution of gap analysis compared to air transport industry.

Identification of the best practices in air transport managing errors and non-standard practices including the implementation of resilience engineering principles and develop the framework to transfer these successful practices  to maritime transport to enhance the safety through managing the human and organisational factors.

New and innovative «shortcuts» methodology for the identification and assessment of the negative/positive outcomes of the practice of crew taking shortcuts.

Development of Multilevel resilience approach covering individuals, teams, multi-teams and organisations linked and interactive to make sure interventions to improve resilience at one level should have positive impact on resilience at a different level.

Development of innovative SEAHORSE virtual platform, which can be utilised to tailor  the multi-level resilience  principles to individual company needs, develop targeted implementation plan and training  materials.

ESM leads the scope of transfer task, collaborating in the development of the implementation strategy to adapt the identified existing resilience resources in aviation to maritime transport operational needs.

ESM also participates in the development of these tasks: Supports the state-of-the-art of the aviation industry; Identify and quantify the practice of taking shortcuts in the Ship/Marine Operations; Management methodology for the shortcuts; Initial validation and testing of smart shortcut methodology; Development of the SEAHORSE multi-level Resilience Model for marine transport; Development of Virtual Platform for maritime multi-level resilience Design and Assesment; Full scale testing and validation of model; Awareness, training and dissemination.
