About this title

Synopsis

Human Factors in Remote Ship Operations examines the psychological, ergonomic and cognitive challenges faced by remote ship operators as maritime navigation shifts from traditional crew experience to technology-driven remote monitoring and control.

Readers will learn strategies to enhance human performance in remote maritime environments through case studies, best practices and design guidelines. The book delivers valuable insights into designing effective remote operations centres, enhancing situational awareness, addressing sensory input challenges and implementing appropriate training methodologies – all essential for ensuring safety and operational excellence in autonomous shipping.

This comprehensive guide is written for maritime professionals, instructors, researchers and policymakers involved in the technological evolution of the maritime industry. It serves as a resource for maritime education and training institutions developing programmes for remote-control operators, as well as for professionals seeking to understand the human factors critical to the successful implementation of maritime autonomous surface ships (MASS).
