 CHIRP is pleased to publish Maritime FEEDBACK issue number 56. Once again we feature a wide variety of topics and we are grateful to all of our reporters. We highlight the issue of fatigue and hours of rest in our editorial for this edition and would like to hear a lot more from mariners in these two areas. Other material covers potential illegal MARPOL contraventions, and air pollution. We continue to receive much correspondence relating to unsafe work at height, collision regulation issues, and pilot ladder failings. As always we hope that you enjoy this edition of FEEDBACK and we welcome any comment with respect to the content.

CHIRP Maritime is pleased to release "Critical Decision Making" the second in our series of collaborations with the University College London PDF booklets and accompanying video. Accidents and serious marine casualties continue to occupy the news. The PDF and video explain how we can use our critical decision making skills to change how we make the decisions that we do, and thus prevent these incidents from occurring. As always CHIRP Maritime encourages feedback as to the content in order to expand the debate.
