      <title>THE REVISED STCW CONVENTION AND THE NEW SIMULATOR PERFORMANCE STANDARDS: SOME IMPLICATIONS FOR SIMULATOR DESIGNERS, OPERATORS AND INSTRUCTORS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/481042</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The paper examines the recently revised International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers 1978, focusing specifically on the introduction of mandatory performance standards for the use of simulators, and discusses the impact of such new developments upon simulator manufacturers, instructors and training institutions.]]></description>

      <title>MARINES A MULTI-AGENT TESTBED FOR MARINE SIMULATION</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/457060</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The MARINES (Multi-Agent Realm for Investigating Navigators' Educational Simulators) testbed is being developed to investigate ways of making ship bridge simulators easier to control and more realistic.  The testbed emulates the instructor station of a marine simulator.  A number of target ships are controlled by intelligent agents which perform collision avoidance based on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea.  The agent control of each ship can be enabled or disabled by the instructor, allowing the instructor to operate the simulation in a conventional manner.  A simple 3D view of the scene has been generated, enabling the instructor to observe the simulation from the agents' perspectives. In order to avoid land and return the ships to their desired tracks, agents are now being implemented to navigate the ships avoiding fixed hazards and counteracting the set and drift of the current.]]></description>

      <title>NAUTICAL SIMULATORS - VERSATILE TOOLS, BUT IMPROVEMENTS ARE STILL REQUIRED</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/442492</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Radical manning and operational changes within shipping call for suitable training.  Simulators seem to provide solutions even though some shortcomings still have to be overcome.  Besides training there are other fields of application which can contribute to improvement of ship operation, too.  These are development of equipment and procedures, port and waterway design and basically simulation technique itself.  However, simulators are very costly machines and concentration of investment should be considered to obtain satisfying cost-benefit results.]]></description>

      <title>PILOT SIMULATOR TRAINING DEVELOPMENT THROUGH IDENTIFICATION OF PROBLEMS IN PILOTAGE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/442498</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A shiphandling simulator has been operated in Finland for training and research since early 1986.  Courses for masters, pilots, mates, and mate students have occupied most of the simulator time but during this six year period the simulator has been utilised for several research projects as well.  During the years of training with pilots it has become evident that frequent continuous training is needed.  This opinion is based both on the feedback from the trainees as well as on the experiences of the trainers.  Preliminary decision has been made to continue this type of training.  Continuous training requires new approaches for the training contents to achieve effective means for the second level training.  The development work on pilot student and pilot training commenced in the autumn 1990.  This work also included the simulator training and it was decided to carry out a questionnaire amongst the pilots.  The objective was to have the opinions and ideas of the pilots included in the course design. Questionnaires contents is divided into two areas; training and problems in pilotage.  This paper presents the results of the questionnaire and raises several safety factors in the present and future pilotage.]]></description>

      <title>TRAINING SIMULATIONS AND CREW EVALUATION FOR A NEW FERRY TYPE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/442499</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In the case of special ship types with advanced control devices, simulations are new often used for training of crews. In recent years the need for crew evaluation is also strongly appreciated by shipowners as the manoeuvring of such ships can put great demands on navigators.  This paper deals with a 4-thruster, joystick controlled ferry, with the close ties between model tests, simulator evaluation of the ship and the control systems and finally with the training and selection of the navigators, carried out on the simulator at Danish Maritime Institute (DMI).]]></description>

      <title>A CATEGORISATION AND EVALUATION SYSTEM FOR COMPUTER BASED SHIP OPERATION TRAINING SIMULATORS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/444275</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Computer technology allows ship motion and operational characteristics to be simulated on personal desk-top computers through to elaborate full-mission representations of the real world. The desk-top and full-mission simulators provide a range of training capabilities from knowledge acquisition to skill and judgement development.  With the increasing use of ship simulators, there is a need for definitions of the various types available and for categorisation and corresponding standards to judge the capability of a system to meet training objectives, together with a method of evaluation to ensure a system meets the standard and continues to serve the intended purpose.  The categorisation and standards would be of value to marine managers considering personnel development, marine administrations considering training regulation, and generally to the marine industry considering the benefits of simulation.  After a discussion on the needs there is reference to previous attempts at defining, categorising and setting standards and a suggested procedure for developing definitions, categories, standards and evaluation methods, following the experience of the airline and other industries, as a move towards setting international standards.]]></description>

      <title>USE OF SIMULATORS AS A TRAINING AND EXAMINATION TOOL</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/444277</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Modern ship instrumentation has become increasingly complex. As a result of the installation of more electronic equipment and the reduction of personnel, it is essential that the seafarer be skilled in both automated and manual operation.  In order for the certification authority to evaluate the competency and skills of the seafarer, a more realistic situation must be presented to the candidate being examined.  The paper describes the use of simulators for this purpose.]]></description>
