Systematic Literature Review on the Fidelity of Maritime Simulator Training

The fidelity of a maritime simulator refers to how realistic the representation of a vessel and its environment look, behave, and feel in real life. Despite the benefits of using simulators in maritime training and education, there is a lack of understanding of different debates on whether higher levels of fidelity translate into better training outcomes. Therefore, to investigate and summarise what is known about maritime simulator fidelity, we conducted a systematic literature review on the maritime simulator-based training literature from 2005 to 2021. We performed bibliometric, authorship, and content analyses of thirty-six references, including white and grey literature. The results show that simulator fidelity is divided into physical and functional fidelity. While the former includes the ergonomics layout of the bridge, visual system, vessel manoeuvrability, and hydrographic modelling, the latter involves training program design, simulator session design, and the role of the instructor. The results reveal that there is no prevalent tradition in the literature, a low number of citations, and the references are dispersed among many publications, authors, and institutions. Despite the fact that the prevalence of studies employing high-fidelity simulators can positively impact training, most of the studies are based on subjective evaluation, if any evidence is provided, and were produced by Scandinavian and European institutions and researchers. To address these limitations, we propose a research agenda containing three recommendations.

“…The major problems related to labor turnover in seaport companies are longer working hours, accidents and low quality service. Despite to increasing maritime logistic traffic with very high accelaration rates, many seaport companies are now capable of handling cargo with fast and efficient way at relatively aceptable low costs (Esmer, 2010;Jiang et al, 2012;Longo et al 2015;. In order to increase the net profit, the companies are tending to limit the total number of workers engagaed with cargo handling in seaports (Llacer, 2006;Longo et al 2015).…”

In order to increase the net profit, the companies are tending to limit the total number of workers engagaed with cargo handling in seaports (Llacer, 2006;Longo et al 2015). Thus, it means that the importance of each avaliable worker increases in terms of the company as there is not always possible to substitute the empty position with equal proficiency and experience.…”

Labor turnover is a phenomenon with negative consequences in the field of seaport handling and operations. This study aims at determining the causes of labor turnover and proposing alternative solutions for companies and logistic firms that are in charge of seaport cargo handling work. The causes and relations among the factors that are effective in labor turnover problem were determined using fuzzy DEMATEL and the related alternatives were analyzed by fuzzy TOPSIS technique. The results of the study revealed that some causes of labor turnover in seaports could be summarized as "low wages", "unguaranteed jobs", "limited career opportunities" and "unwelcomed managers". As alternatives to the labor turnover problem; "bonus pay", "career opportunities" and "offering partnership" may be considered to overcome the problem. The study is based on data from expert evaluations obtained from the questionnaires. Finally, some recommendations are made to diminish the labor turnover frequency in seaport companies.
