    Situation awareness is knowing what is happening around you to make better decisions. On ships, this includes knowing crew locations and duties, potential risks, and environmental factors. Human factors like fatigue, poor procedures, and communication issues are the leading causes of ship accidents, rather than mechanical issues. The top 10 root causes of accidents are procedures, design, maintenance, organization, communication, fatigue, circumstances, goals, defenses, and negligence. Fatigue can be temporary from lifestyle factors or chronic from medical conditions and negatively impacts performance. Automation can help increase situation awareness and prevent accidents by detecting critical situations. Complacency and boredom on ships can reduce productivity so providing activities and entertainment for crews is important.

    Topic 3: Awareness

    Onboard Ship Situations


    Situation Awareness
    • Knowing where you are and what is going on around you,
    allowing individuals and organizations to be more alert and
    informed and to make better decisions. For organizations, this
    includes awareness about personnel location and assigned
    duties, the environment, and any potential risks.
    Situation Awareness
    • Accidents and disasters like this are usually
    caused by human factors and only rarely by
    internal factors such as internal ship breakdowns
    and/or external factors such as bad weather
    conditions. So it is safe to say that the human
    factor is the main concern when it comes to
    reducing accidents. (Catherine Hetherington,
    2006)
    Top 10 Most Common Root for Accident
    • The top ten most common root causes for accidents are:
    
    • 1. Procedures and regulations
    • 2. Design and arrangement 
    3. Maintenance 
    4. On-board organization 
    5. Communication 
    6. Fatigue 
    7. Error- enforcing circumstances
    • 8. Incompatible goals
    • 9. Defences 
    10. Crews negligence (UK P&I, 2012)
    ROLEPLAY
    Fatique
    • Fatigue is a feeling of constant tiredness or weakness and can
    be physical, mental or a combination of both. It can affect
    anyone, and most adults will experience fatigue at some point in
    their life.
    2 types of Fatique
    • Temporary Fatique: Lifestyle habits: Poor diet, excessive alcohol,
    drug use, too much stress and a sedentary lifestyle can all
    contribute to fatigue. Jet lag commonly causes temporary
    fatigue (symptoms usually improve in a few days).
    • Chronic fatigue syndrom- is a serious, long-term illness that
    affects many body systems. People with ME/CFS are often not
    able to do their usual activities. At times, ME/CFS may confine
    them to bed. People with ME/CFS have severe fatigue and sleep
    problems.
    The Causes of Fatique Can divide in 3
    types
    • 1. Lifestyle conditions: 
    Lifestyle conditions are conditions caused by the way we live.
    For example drinking a lot of coffee to stay alert. 
    2. psychological conditions 
    Psychological conditions are conditions caused by mental
    problems like depression.
    •3. Medical conditions are caused by illnesses like COPD and
    Cancer.
    Human Error
    • Human error is a generic term that involves all those instances
    where a planned activity fails to achieve its intended outcome.
    Automation Awareness
    • Automated systems raise the crew’s awareness and help avoid
    accidents when a critical situation is detected. These
    technologies are especially important for cruise ships because
    of the many human lives on board. They can prevent the officer
    of the deck from falling asleep, or recognize when another ship
    is on the radar that might cause a collision, and alert the crew,
    change the course, contact the other vessel, etc.”
    Complacency Boredom
    • Boredom is a transient, negative emotional state that can lead
    to a reduction in productivity (Reijseger et al., 2013). Regarding
    complacency, Barnes (2005, p. 576) refers to it as a “comfort
    factor” and finds evidence for it creeping into mid-term
    relationships, with partners paying less attention to each other.
    • Therefore, a smoking room that is well stacked with films,
    books, music, preferably a good gaming device and other such
    similar paraphernalia, is bound to keep every seafarer happy.
    Track line attachment syndrome
    • Track line attachment syndrome (TAS) is the tendency of
    navigators, commonly younger mates, but sometimes even
    seasoned captains, to develop an unhealthy and obsessive need
    to place and keep a pictorial representation of their vessel upon
    a track line or series of lines presented on a computer monitor.
