The Role of the Prefrontal Cortex and Functional Connectivity during Maritime Operations: An fNIRS study. [PDF]
fNIRS was used in a ship bridge simulator to study safety‐related performance during watchkeeping and decision‐making. Functional connectivity of the prefrontal cortex was measured. It was found that connection density was reduced during decision‐making while local clustering increased; connectivity measures were also significantly predictive of safety‐

Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASSs) are attracting increasing attention in recent years as it brings new opportunities for water transportation. Previous studies aim to propose fully autonomous system on collision avoidance decisions and operations, either focus on supporting conflict detection or providing with collision avoidance decisions ...

Multi-Ship Collision Avoidance Decision-Making Based on Collision Risk Index
Most maritime accidents are caused by human errors or failures. Providing early warning and decision support to the officer on watch (OOW) is one of the primary issues to reduce such errors and failures. In this paper, a quantitative real-time multi-ship

Let Us Prepare the Officer of the Watch on Jamming and Spoofing [PDF]
The general accessibility and high accuracy of GPS caused that for a dozen or so years it is applied commonly, not only in marine navigation. We can ascertain that in this regard there exists the monopoly.

Problems that Occur in a Team: Learning From Maritime Accidents via Simulation Training [PDF]
Despite the efforts of all stakeholders maritime accidents still occur, most commonly caused by human failure. Efficient team work is a vital tool in preventing occurrence or rectifying the errors and violations.

RORSIM: a warship collision avoidance 3D simulation designed to complement existing Junior Warfare Officer training [PDF]
Royal Navy Junior Warfare Officers (JWO) undergo a comprehensive training package in order to prepare them to be officers of the watch. One aspect of this training relates to their knowledge of the ‘Rules of the Road’ or ‘COLREGS’; the rules for the ...

Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) and the COLREGS: Do We Need Quantified Rules Or Is “the Ordinary Practice of Seamen” Specific Enough? [PDF]
Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) is currently on the agenda in several countries and also in the IMO. In Norway a 120 TEU container feeder is being build and will start sailing autonomously in 2022. The challenge is huge.

A proposed quantitative methodology for the evaluation of the effectiveness of Human Element, Leadership and Management (HELM) training in the UK [PDF]
In 2006, a review of maritime accidents found that non-technical skills (NTSs) are the single largest contributing factor towards such incidents. NTSs are composed of both interpersonal and cognitive elements.
