LONDON, United Kingdom (10 September 2024) – NYK LNG Shipmanagement UK Ltd (NYK) has renewed their contract with PsyFyi and their innovative data collection system SeaQ. Using SeaQ will allow never-before-seen and unique insight into the efficient and effective working of the crew onboard, and work to identify positive and challenging aspects of their environment and behaviour. Identifying these will enable NYK to design best practice management guidance and systems to enhance their experience whilst on board and ensure the crew are motivated, content, and working safely.
Mark Birkett, General Manager at NYK said: “We are impressed by how innovative SeaQ is. The information collected from our people during a short trial is of extreme value and the whole process is easily done. We are pleased to be rolling this out across our LNG fleet. We are using SeaQ to focus on on-board safety and on-board communication, as well as wider organisational structure. The results are clear: We are getting valuable insight from our on-board people and their challenges which are not always visible to the shore.”
Claire Georgeson, CEO and founder of PsyFyi commented: “I am thrilled to witness the progress NYK has achieved with SeaQ in enhancing crew welfare. Their contract renewal is a testament to the effectiveness of our SeaQ platform and the positive results it delivers. By gaining insights into the real conditions onboard vessels, we can collaboratively foster a sustainable, safe, efficient, and effective environment for seafarers."
