The story goes a bit like this. Ships call for help at almost the same clip every year, regulators add more words to more books, and vendors promise salvation through cleaner interfaces and a smarter network. The numbers in this year’s safety report look calm on the surface. Eight hundred and one distress calls. A little up from last time, a little down from before that. The tide rolls in, the tide rolls out, and the graph barely twitches. That kind of stability makes for a lovely slide. It does not make for better sleep on the midwatch.
