Crew Endurance Management System
(CEMS)
A Real World Solution
The Issues
What is CEMS?
Why implement CEMS?
What benefit is there?
What kind of support is available?
The ability to maintain performance within safety limits
while enduring job-related physiological, psychological, and environmental challenges.
Crew Endurance
A systematic process for
managing the risk factors
that can lead to human error and performance degradation in maritime work environments.

Q: How can Performance Degradation be prevented ?
A: By shifting the Biological Clock… ONLY through proper
Light Management
and proper amounts of uninterrupted sleep.

Why Is CEMS Important?
Unchecked endurance factors affect alertness and long-term health of mariners
In Conclusion…
What are the Benefits?
CEMS is a field tested, non-regulatory solution
CEMS packages scientific knowledge for use in improving the living and working environment of mariners
CEMS improves operational safety and mission effectiveness
What Is Required?
Management support at all levels
Trained coaches and support materials
Working Groups for each vessel
Development of Crew Endurance Plan for each vessel
Working Group management of Crew Endurance Plan implementation
What Support is Available?
The Coast Guard - AWO Safety Partnership
Working Together to Improve Maritime Towing Operations
