Maritime technology is transforming how ships are designed, operated and crewed, from automation to artificial intelligence. While these systems are carefully tested, one vital question remains: how do these changes truly affect people working at sea? The STEER Project (Seafarer Technology Engagement, Empowerment and Resilience), led by [The Nautical Institute](https://www.nautinst.org/steer-project.html) in collaboration with [Lloyd’s Register Foundation](https://www.lrfoundation.org.uk/news/the-nautical-institute-and-lloyds-register-foundation-investigate-the-impact-of-technology-on), is an international research and engagement initiative that explores the real-world impact of the combined introduction of new systems and working practices to seafarers at sea and ashore. By listening to the day-to-day experiences of crews, managers, shipowners, manufacturers, regulators and trainers, the STEER Project aims to explore how new technologies affect safety, welfare and decision-making at sea. ---
