Dear Pilots/Master/Deck Officers/Deck Cadets,

This is Apple Yeung, a student studying Bachelor degree of Maritime Operation Management at Solent University. I am currently working on a Project researching the topic Preventing Collision Caused by Human Factors in Hong Kong Waters. I write this to invite you to participate in this survey. This survey is part of my completion of degree program.

Thank you very much!

Members,

This has been posted on SN as well and my advice is to ignore it. You are unable to view the full survey form and the questions before you agree to take it. If the poster will post a read only of the questions then you can decide yourself whether to take the survey.

Unless this is forthcoming do not do it.
