FERRY SAFETY IN DIGITAL AGE 2nd Community of Practice Forum on Maritime Safety: August 28, 2019 Marina Mandarin , Singapore. www.ferrysafety.org
Learning Techniques traditional to modern Times tables : 2x2=4, 2x3=6, 2x4=8 and so on Sextant to GPS positioning Weather-cocks to nano-satellite derived forecasts
Data analysis on Safety of Ferries Causes and solutions Cause Human Error Weather Overcrowding Collision Other % 75-92% 50% 29% 22% Solution Training Actionable timely info Counting & enforcement AIS Adds up to more than 100% because of multiple causes each accident
Virtual Training : e-LEARNING Lack of time for ship s crew to undertake long periods of institutional training Insufficient training facilities Unaligned curricula with STCW Lack of Training ships Lack of quality professional trainers
Technology is Reshaping Maritime Training Developments in science and technology have been greatly affecting seafarer training as attested by the application of ship control simulators which continued to be increasingly sophisticated and adaptive. Innovative Approach : E Learning Systems Virtual and Augmented Reality Electronic Training - Record Books and Data Analytics Gamification of Trainings Adapting to alternative training : Competency through E Learning Courtesy: Archipelago ferries/ Mary-Ann Pastrana
E-Training is for safety in Digital age Today, more than 25% of operators highly use in-person training, eLearning, videos and simulators for crew training. Maritime Training Insights Database (MarTID) MarTID launched 2017/2018 (www.MarTID.org) Joint effort from: World Maritime University New Wave Media Marine Learning Systems Courtesy : MarTID.org
Conclusion The way forward is to work with the skill set of mariners Use electronic media blended with practical skills gained on board Carry out / practice application of knowledge acquired through repeated drills and onboard exercise.
