A ship's endurance depends on how long it can support operations at sea without replenishing supplies or requiring in-port maintenance. Similarly, crew endurance can be described as a function of physiological and psychological resources that support crew members ability to perform their jobs effectively. Recent studies of Coast Guard personnel on cutters, at small boat stations, and at air stations have shown that some of our traditional work practices can lead to consistently reduced crew endurance and readiness. This Guide will show you how to identify and manage crew endurance risk factors. The step-by-step process will guide you in selecting and implementing the controls necessary to improve crew endurance. This practical method has been tested during actual operations aboard Coast Guard cutters, at Coast Guard air stations, at small boat stations, and on commercial vessels.
