ForeSea - created to improve Maritime safety

ForeSea is an incident reporting system for accidents, near misses, and non-conformities developed by the Swedish shipping industry in collaboration with maritime authorities. ForeSea is a tool to proactively work with maritime safety by collecting, analyzing and sharing information from incident reports in a common experience bank.

What is the purpose with ForeSea?

The purpose with ForeSea is to prevent accidents and improve maritime safety. ForeSea’s ambition is to capture, in addition to the mandatory accident reporting, incidents that are not normally reported to the regulatory authorities.

Reports are analyzed and categorized and made useful for safety assessments, to make decisions on measures and improvements based on a broad base of real data from the entire industry. Information from the database is also used in various projects with the aim of improving maritime safety.

ForeSea collects reports from the person who is responsible of ISM (The International Safety Management Code) at the shipping company (the Designated Person). The system is voluntary, and the reports are registered anonymously in ForeSea’s experience data bank that is shared across the Swedish shipping companies/ship owners. Quarterly summarizes are shared with members together with safety bulletins based on recent reports.

ForeSea is developed by the Swedish shipping industry in collaboration with maritime authorities. Through public funds, grants from foundations and investments from shipowners, ForeSea has been able to continuously develop. Since January 2016, ForeSea is owned and financed by the Swedish Shipowners´ Association.
