Fight Fatigue
was in their stateroom, feet up, drinking a cocktail. The answer however is much more mundane than that. Most commonly the Master lays below as soon as possible to complete paperwork that piles up. However they are expected to watch the radar and ECDIS relays in their stateroom and listen in on radio communications to ensure that the mate on watch is doing their job. When are they supposed to actually get work done and still be available to assist the bridge watch in times of doubt? What can be done to prevent these near misses and accidents related to fatigue? Consider returning to a four mate
Simulation: The Centre for Marine Simulation
in these situations is small in comparison to the total capital cost and it allows a means for companies to explore and demonstrate concepts. Many maritime colleges used their simulators as part of formal training; RADAR plotting, collision avoidance, passage planning and navigation, radio communications, engine control room etc. But as younger instructors have started to replace older personnel in colleges they are demanding more capacity from simulation providers in order to use simulators in other applications in maritime education that better reflect their experience in today&rsquo
Titanic & the Launch of a Landmark Safety Agreement
for ratification. Solas has been amended numerous times since, but is referred to as SOLAS 74. In the U.S., the disaster led to the passage of the Radio Act of 1912, which required ships to keep in contact with ships in the area, as well as coastal radio stations. It also required both 24-hour radio communications and backup power to make sure it stayed that way. The Titanic was also the impetus for the 1913 launch of the International Ice Patrol (IIP) with international funding, to monitor shipping lanes for icebergs in the North Atlantic and to provide a regular reports. The IIP has been run
