Abstract: | Collisions and groundings continue to take their toll on seafarers and the environment. Much has been said about the associated
role of human factors. STCW95 endeavored to create a closer relationship between what is taught and what is needed to handle
the demands of the operational environment. Technological developments such as ARPA, and in the future AIS, imply access to
more data. With a view to determining how data should be presented and used, this study examines the capabilities of mariners
to identify and initiate an appropriate course of action in an encounter where the need for two targets to maneuver to avoid
collision with each other changes our own vessel’s passing distance from a safe to an unsafe state. Such a capability can
generally add to the probability of a successful encounter through anticipating the resulting conflict with our own vessel
and through taking appropriate early action. The outcome of this study, reported in this paper, was that very few senior officers
and masters displayed the advanced level of anticipation skills that would provide the situation awareness needed for the
encounter presented. Such outcomes may point to the need for inclusion of specific training in anticipation skills within
the maritime educational system and/or for the provision of decision support systems which assist the development of situation
awareness and identification of an appropriate course of action. |
