4. 3. Getting the Feeling : “Human Error” in an educational ship-handling simulator

   University essay from Institutionen för datavetenskap

   Author : Marcus Arenius; [2010]
   Keywords : Human error; Resilience; Cognitive Couplings; Ship-handling simulator; maritime;

   Abstract : In high-risk environments of seafaring, simulators constitute a widely used tool in preparing nauticalstudents for the challenges to be met in real-life working situations. While the technical developmentof ship bridge simulators continues at a breathtaking pace, little is known on how developments fulfiltheir intended safety critical purpose during actual simulator training exercises.

5. 4. Safety Assessment for Oil Tankers and Container Vessels Focused on Fire and Explosion in the Machinery Space

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Riskhantering (CI); Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik; Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Author : Katarina Lindgren; Mateusz Sosnowski; [2009]
   Keywords : Maritime Safety; Risk Analysis; Fire Safety; Machinery Space; Oil Tanker; Container Vessel; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : A considerable part of world merchandise is transported by sea, and with about 150,000 crew members working on the ship types of interest for this thesis there is much at stake if an accident occurs, both with respect to human lives and financial losses. Since fires have previously shown to be responsible for many accidents with severe consequences, the aim of this thesis has been to investigate the risks of fires and/or explosions in the machinery space of oil tankers and container vessels.
