In situ - SSPA in position

SSPA has been studying human machine interface and human factor issues onboard ships for several years.

 

The projects have addressed:

  • Human machine interface aspects of bridge radar, AIS and ECDIS systems
  • Human factors issues in the engine control room through a systematic mapping and identification process
  • Technology induced human error and other causal aspects within engineering


SSPA has also been analysing technical factors onboard for optimisation and safety purposes, such as:

  • Measuring motions and accelerations for possible route optimisation
  • Reliability and quality check of AIS and radar systems
  
   

 

IceMaster – a toolbox for the planning of arctic offshore operations

SSPA has developed the Transatlantic IceMaster. The IceMaster is a risk-based decision support tool for the dimensioning and safe delivery of customised services for offshore operations in the Arctic. The expert judgment is an important input and is based on Transatlantic’s unique combination of experience in offshore operations and icebreaking for the Swedish Maritime Authorities.

A new method to identify close situations between vessels

As part of the MonaLisa 2.0 project, SSPA has developed a geometric method for identifying close situations between vessels, as well as a very fast mathematical implementation of that method. The method is used for de-conflicting voyage plans in the project as well as analysing traffic from SSPA’s large AIS database.
