Distributed Situation Awareness in pilotage operations: Implications and Challenges
Journal Title: TransNav, the International Journal on Marine Navigation and Safety of Sea Transportation - Year 2017, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
Pilotage is considered as the most critical leg of navigation and a complex operation in maritime domain. In this paper, we argue that Distributed Situation Awareness (DSA) is an important construct in pilotage as the information required to carry out operations is distributed between agents and artefacts. We identify the central themes from the theory of DSA which are useful in describing modern day complex socio-technical systems. Further, based on the central themes, we propose guidelines for evaluating bridge teams involved in pilotage operations.

Safer and More Efficient Ship Handling with the Pivot Point Concept
The concept of the pivot point of a turning ship has been in existence for more than two centuries. It was not, however, properly understood from the beginning, and thus some misconceptions developed. This in turn caused...
