The Worldwide Ferry Safety Association (WFSA), a not-for-profit organization, aims to reduce ferry fatalities and expand the use of safe ferries globally. Our tools are technology, research, and information-sharing.
We sponsor an international student design competition now in its 11th year; this year for a Niger River RoPax. We produce conferences, webinars, and YouTube videos on Ferry Safety and Technology. Tracking ferry fatalities and their causes since 2000, our analyses guide research, which currently is directed to find precursors to sudden hazardous weather at sea. One solution is Automated weather stations connected to AIS which text out weather information to nearby vessels –and provide the in situ data to correct satellite-derived weather models. We are petitioning the USCG to make this very low-cost (1200 USD) device mandatory for all vessels with AIS.

Passenger Ship Technology provides insightful coverage of cruise ships, ferries and fast ferries operating anywhere in the world.
Passenger Ship Technology is a quarterly magazine focusing exclusively on the technology used in passenger shipping. Focusing on the ships themselves, rather than the destinations, the magazine covers cruise ship and ferry design, construction, outfitting, equipping, refurbishment, operation and maintenance – and the legislation that influences these.
Our readers are predominately cruise and ferry superintendents, technical and operational management who specify requirements and evaluate available solutions. Passenger Ship Technology is circulated to those companies who own, operate and manage passenger vessels worldwide.
