According to a study carried out by a group of Marine Professionals on seafarer fatigue, it has been found that two in five seafarers might be snoozing while on watch.
The study included seafarers who were on" six on, six off" watch and others on" four on, eight off" watch regime.
It was also noted that this does not occur during 6.00 to 12.00 watch but possibilities are, it could be at very high levels on midnight to 4.00 AM watch.
My own thought: less number of crew and very heavy work loads -- fatigue is an ultimate result.
Who will do and what? We will wait and see!!!
