🚢 SafeMTS Stakeholder Meeting: Applying LLMs to Maritime Near-Miss Data

SafeMTS recently presented how Large Language Models can improve classification, consistency, and analysis of maritime near-miss reports — enabling faster, actionable safety insights within a secure CIPSEA-protected environment.

We are humbled to contribute to an effort focused on preventing serious events and ultimately saving lives at sea.

The recording and transcript are now posted:

Sharp Focus throwback — almost a decade ago now.
"IMeanIt" didn’t just design a logo; they created the Sharp Focus brand from scratch — our visual identity, website, infomercials, and the thinking behind our motto "MAKE SURE".

"We make sure things work" when it matters, and they made sure our story, purpose, and standards were clear from day one.
Work like this doesn’t age — it holds.

Thank you

Faced with this challenge, I Mean It Creative responded to the branding needs of Sharp Focus with solutions that highlight the result-oriented mission of the company.

Highlights from the fourth session of IMHFS 2025 on Safety Learning & Accident Investigation.
Honored to join outstanding colleagues as we explored new perspectives on learning from near-misses, advancing simulation for safer training, strengthening systems-based investigations, and integrating AI into safety analysis.
A big thanks to Chair Deepak Gupta for leading a powerful discussion that showcased how multidisciplinary approaches can move maritime safety forward.

Excited to be presenting at the 4th International Maritime Human Factors Symposium on: "Lessons Learned from Applying AI to Near-Miss and Accident Data – Insights from SafeMTS and Beyond"
We’ll share what we’ve learned from applying AI and LLMs to thousands of near-miss and accident reports within SafeMTS and across other maritime & aviation datasets —including how AI improves data quality, uncovers weak signals and causal patterns, and supports proactive safety decisions.
We’ll also discuss practical approaches for:
• Building scalable AI-assisted classification workflows
• Enhancing data completeness and consistency
• Strengthening near-miss programs to prevent future accidents
Looking forward to contributing to the Maritime Safety and Human Factors dialogue.

Join us at the TOCICO Innovation Summit as we share how Constraints Management (TOC) and High Reliability Organization (HRO) principles can be applied to one of healthcare’s toughest challenges: patient falls.
Despite decades of effort, falls remain difficult to prevent—not only in hospitals but also at home and in everyday life. This session will present practical, scalable strategies that protect patients, improve outcomes, and deliver sustainable results.

It was a privilege to speak on the SafeMTS panel at the 2025 SOCP Spring Conference yesterday.

I shared how AI is reshaping near-miss data collection and analysis, enabling more proactive & predictive risk management and deeper insight into causal factors. With advances like voice-activated input, narrative and image-based data capture, we now have the ability to collect critical data once, ensure its quality and sufficiency from the start, and make the process seamless. These technologies also allow us to uncover patterns and generate recommendations that were previously inaccessible.

Large language models (LLMs) can instantly process reports, identify gaps, and trace failed defenses—while integrated systems synthesize near-miss data with other sources for richer analysis.

Grateful to the SafeMTS team and the participating shipping companies for driving this important work forward.
