Putting Navigation back where it belongs
Mark Bull, Independent Marine Consultant gave a presentation entitled”Putting Navigation back where it belongs’‘ at 2015 SAFETY4SEA Athens Forum, in which he linked the ongoing level of navigational accidents occurring worldwide to what he described as the “unimportance” of navigation in today’s world. From the very first voyages of discovery, he took us on a journey to the present day showing just how marine navigation had contributed to the marine industry. He closed his presentation by offering a simple and yet minimal cost solution to this problem.
