“…Ship-to-ship route exchange represents one of the possibilities of the STM system, which gives option to OOW to foresee possible dangers and plan his movement in advance. This information is transferred via the Automatic Identification System (AIS) between ships and displays the route segment consisting of the next seven waypoints of the monitored route with a rendezvous information layer that predicts a meeting point 18 .

In the shipping industry, Sea Traffic Management (STM) system aims to represent a new paradigm in maritime safety. The idea of the STM implementation is to share information between all stakeholders, making shipping more efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly. With the growing market and related increase in marine transport and traffic, the risk of marine accidents is increasing as well. The STM provides numerous features for personnel on-board and shore to support decisions for safe navigation and operation based on real-time data. One of the services is the ship-to-ship route exchange, providing prediction of potentially dangerous situations and planning the vessel’s movement in advance. Analyses of marine accidents show that ship collisions are one of the most frequent types of marine accidents, the reason of which among all others, questions human error related to the knowledge of collision avoidance. This paper elaborates on the possibility of COLREGs/STM integration based on the use of STM ship-to-ship route exchange system. The decision model for COLREGs/STM integration procedure is presented in a way which enables suggestion on appropriate COLREG rule application in advance. Further system development is proposed as well, such as machine learning algorithms in COLREGs/STM integration, with the function of reducing the risks of marine accidents and increasing safety at sea.

“…These functions provide additional information about surrounding traffic and allow information exchange between ships to enable operators to make more informed decisions based on real-time information. The results from the STM project indicate that, although several of the STM services were useful, they caused changes to existing work practices which could impact communication structures, workload, and situational awareness (Aylward et al, 2020a, 2020b). This work highlighted the need for an increased research focus on the potential impacts of low-level automation within the maritime socio-technical system.…”

Navigators’ views of a collision avoidance decision support system for maritime navigation

Maritime navigation is a complex task involving the acquisition, analysis, and interpretation of information using seamanship, professional knowledge, and technology. As the maritime industry transitions towards maritime autonomous surface ships (MASS), there is an increasing gap between the operator and the technology. This paper explores a collision avoidance decision support system for navigation from the navigator's perspective. The system, developed by Wärtsilä, is called Advanced Intelligent Manoeuvring (AIM) and can generate suggestions for course or speed alterations based on data from surrounding traffic. Nineteen Swedish navigators completed three ship traffic scenarios with and without decision support. Qualitative data were collected using interviews and analysed with thematic analysis. The results show that the participants perceive the decision support system as an advisory tool to visualise how traffic situations could unfold, a task currently difficult for most navigators. This paper discusses the present and near future of maritime navigation, highlighting the benefits of automation, while remaining vigilant about the potential dangers.

“…Instead, technological systems continue to be developed that "assist" with navigational tasks, yet their lack of integration into existing systems and the lack of a systemic approach end up making the system merely more complex [9,26]. Successfully designing solutions for a ship's bridge requires access to the user context while also maintaining awareness of the rapid development of new design concepts [27].…”

Using Operational Scenarios in a Virtual Reality Enhanced Design Process

Maritime user interfaces for ships’ bridges are highly dependent on the context in which they are used, and rich maritime context is difficult to recreate in the early stages of user-centered design processes. Operations in Arctic waters where crews are faced with extreme environmental conditions, technology limitations and a lack of accurate navigational information further increase this challenge. There is a lack of research supporting the user-centered design of workplaces for hazardous Arctic operations. To meet this challenge, this paper reports on the process of developing virtual reality-reconstructed operational scenarios to connect stakeholders, end-users, designers, and human factors specialists in a joint process. This paper explores how virtual reality-reconstructed operational scenarios can be used as a tool both for concept development and user testing. Three operational scenarios were developed, implemented in a full mission bridge simulator, recreated in virtual reality (VR), and finally tested on navigators (end-users). Qualitative data were captured throughout the design process and user-testing, resulting in a thematic analysis that identified common themes reflecting the experiences gained throughout this process. In conclusion, we argue that operational scenarios, rendered in immersive media such as VR, may be an important and reusable asset when supporting maritime design processes and in maritime training and education.
