Trans RINA, Vol 157, Part C1, Intl J Marine Design, Jan - Dec 2015 4.1 (a) Ship Bridge when arriving in a port
When looking at the prototypes prepared by the three ship bridge groups, it is clearly evident that they were able to describe some of the factors
related to the
operational environment; such as lighting, locating the control panels bearing in mind the integration of people with equipment and bridge window and wings design for better visibility and reduced glare. All the groups identified the ranks of the crewmembers available during the operation.
Interestingly, group K identified the
requirement of a pilot during manoeuvring. However they were able to describe neither the individual tasks of the work and their order, nor the demands that different tasks placed on crew. Group D and K identified that the crew had to plan and discuss the matters required for safe berthing. Furthermore group K recognised other tasks that users were doing at the same time, such as communication
device usage, chart reading and
electronic device usage. Additionally group G identified some potential sources of harm and how risks could be managed by safety measures such as placing handrails.
4.1 (b) Ship ER/ECR before departure
The two groups who prepared ECR and ER prototypes to present the departure scenario were able to identify workability, controllability and habitability requirements of the crewmembers. However group C located their switchboard at the centre of the ECR and that obstructed the communication and visibility between both ends of the room. Nevertheless both groups, B and C identified various crew ranks present in the ER/ECR during such operations. However, similar to the previous scenario, these groups
did not discuss the crew roles, their
responsibilities and demand for the tasks. Group C placed communication equipment inside the ECR. Other group placed fire extinguishers and discussed the some safety measures required in the ECR. Furthermore both groups identified the necessity of keeping a regular watch, good visibility to the engine space from the ECR, and the comfort for the engineers to perform their tasks in a safe manner.
4.1 (c) Ship mooring station is preparing for arrival
The two mooring station groups, A and F were able to identify the goals that the seafarers should achieve during such an operation, including communication with the bridge. However both groups were not clear about the ranks of the crew who would perform the tasks or their commands. Further they correctly identified possible hazards in various operating environments as poor accessibility to equipment, getting limbs caught in the winches, communication failures between bridge and deck and man overboard risks when handling machinery. In addition they suggested some safety features to overcome these hazards.
24% of the students heard about HCD for the first time during the workshop. According to the rating scales, their average understanding about the different situations and the roles of the crew on board a ship was ‘good’ before the workshop and it improved to ‘very good’ level after the workshop. The remainder of the students had heard about HCD before workshop and their understanding about
the the
different situations and the roles of the crew on board a ship also improved from ‘good’ to ‘very good’ after the workshop.
4.1 (d) Ship mess/galley is preparing for the Captain’s Birthday
These two groups, H and I who prepared prototypes of ship mess to present how it would prepare for the Captain’s Birthday were clearly able to identify the crew who perform the tasks and their overall responsibilities. However the demand placed on the crew by the tasks were not clear in their presentations, but they recognised the goals that crewmembers are aiming to achieve. Yet, they were not able to recognise the other tasks that crew would be doing at the same time. Nevertheless they identified most of the probable hazards inside galley, such as open flames, slippery floors, busy working environment, space limitation, poor lighting, cupboards without locks, garbage bin arrangement, and they suggested solutions for the above hazards.
4.1 (e) Ship life boat station is doing lifeboat drill
These two groups, E and J who prepared the prototypes, only one group explained the situation in detail at a life boat station during an abandon ship drill. However, both groups identified the overall goals that the crew members are going to achieve. Furthermore group E identified the availability of different muster stations, the placement of lifeboats and liferafts on the ship in order to have easy access and to properly take account of different trim and heel angles of the ship. However, both teams were not clear about the ranks of the crew members performing various tasks during a lifeboat drill. Furthermore they did not discuss the other tasks that crew members might be doing during the drill. Nevertheless both teams identified the importance of communication and safety requirements such as guard rails and life jackets.
4.2 QUESTIONNAIRE
The results of the questionnaire can be summarised as follows.
