Evalu-8 has been featured in Maritime Journal, a publication covering the commercial marine industry, discussing the importance of managing health and safety during ship-to-shore operations.
The article, published on 21 July 2026 and titled “WTIV crashes into containership, exposing ship-to-shore safety gaps”, includes comments from Josh McNicholas at Evalu-8 following an incident at the Port of Tyne involving a wind turbine installation vessel and a container ship.
The incident highlighted some of the difficulties ports face when different teams, contractors and vessels are working in the same area. With so many operations taking place at once, communication between everyone involved is particularly important.
In the article, Josh discusses why having safety procedures in place isn’t always enough. Staff need to understand their responsibilities, know who they’re working alongside and have access to the correct safety information before beginning a task.
He also discusses the role of risk assessments and how regularly reviewing procedures can help businesses identify potential hazards before they lead to an incident.
For organisations working in busy ports and terminals, keeping safety documentation organised and making sure information reaches the right people can be difficult, particularly when several contractors are involved.
Evalu-8 EHS software supports businesses with managing risk assessments, inspections, corrective actions and safety documents in one place, helping teams stay informed and maintain consistent safety procedures.
