dc.description.abstract | Human error and other human related factors have long been identified as the
main cause of accidents at sea. Inadequate design has been suggested as a
significant reason triggering human actions. In this research, human factors in ship
design and operation were investigated using several approaches: a literature
review, empirical studies and a theoretical approach. The methods include: content
analysis, exploratory survey, explanatory research and on-board measurements,
combined with observations and questionnaires. A theoretical evaluation of the
human factor construct is made and a model for integrating human factors into
design is introduced. The work in this thesis can be classified into six themes:
RT1: Overview of the existing knowledge of human factors in ship design and
operation
RT2: Overview of the implementation of human factor principles in ship design
and operation
RT3: Overview of the relationships between human factors and other variables of
interest
RT4: Overview of the standards and criteria and their relevance
RT5: Overview of the crew’s wellbeing and performance
RT6: Overview of human factors theoretical construct in ship design and
operation.
Two offshore supply vessels operating in the Norwegian Sea were chosen as the
objects of the study; therefore generalisation of the findings is limited. The main
contributions of the thesis are:
C1: To present a comprehensive list of documents related to human factors that
includes the topics covered
C2: To develop qualitative and quantitative methods, and an on-board evaluation
that can be used to distinguish factors related to vessels from those related to
humans
C3: To present an example of how different methods were used to evaluate the
implementation of human factors on the sampled vessels, including a
presentation of results that may contribute to the existing body of knowledge
C4: To present feedback on the existing standards and criteria based on on-board
measurements, and which shows their relevance when implemented on two
offshore supply vessels operating in the Norwegian Sea
C5: To present a model showing the significant variables and their relationships
to seafarers’ wellbeing and performance on two offshore supply vessels
during their operation in the Norwegian Sea
C6: To present theoretical feedback on the human factor construct in ship design
and operation as represented by the sample
C7: To propose a preliminary model of how human factors could be integrated in
offshore supply vessel design and operation | nb_NO |
