Logical Thinking and Decision Making in the Maritime Environment

The maritime industry is an environment that operates round the clock – with ships often on the move 24/7 around the world and operational decisions often having to be made swiftly and under time pressures.

To gain a greater insight into the logical thinking processes and how it leads up to good decision-making, some 18 maritime professionals representing shore management and shipboard officers participated in Wavelink Maritime Institute’s inaugural programme on Logical Thinking and Decision-Making in the Maritime Environment.
