| Cost Effectiveness |
- Modern Passenger Vessels require a lot of work to be operated in a good manner!
- In studies of several accidents and incidents with Passenger Vessels, high workload on the bridge was named as a contributing factor.
- Bad ergonomics increases workload, therefore bridge layout is very important.
- Changing an existing ship is not cost effective. However, adjusting the design of a new build Ship is.
- The proposed layout change by Shipdesign, will typically reduce the amount of consoles and equipment placed on the bridge. Increasing ergonomics and reducing cost.
- The procedures we implement will reduce the workload on the Bridge even more.
- The Watch keeping Officer should have mental room to deal with unusual situations.
- Long term benefits are plentiful and cost effective.
- The statistical chance of an incident or accident happening will be reduced significantly.
