safety is the common desire and the aim of all those who engage in marine
transportation. However, despite the best efforts of everyone concerned,
sea-going accidents continue to occur. A complex range of factors are
involved in maritime accidents, but approximately 80 percent can be
attributed to human error. The industry has been earnestly seeking the
development of navigational aid equipment that can assume basic tasks
and reduce the workload and the psychological pressure on the officer
on watch. The IBS (Integrated Bridge System) plays a vital role as a
navigational aid. The electronic sea chart performs a central function
within this system and |
|||
is attracting a lot of attention. Maintaining a constant watch of the
ship's surroundings is essential to insuring safety. However, the duties
on the bridge include supervising such matters as navigational lookout,
planning navigational routes, and handling communications as well as
managing the ship's engines, hull, and load while at the same time being
on constant alert to avoid collisions or running aground. This is extremely
stressful work. This situation has created an urgent need for developing
a new bridge system that can rationally concentrate this necessary information
for supervision. The concept of the IBS sprang from this need. The IBS
is composed of navigational equipment required for |
 |
|||
operating the ship, such as the GPS, gyrocompass, autopilot, radar,
and electronic sea charts. The IBS integrates and processes information
from throughout the bridge, and as such, interfacing with the various
instruments and information processing technology is critical in IBS. |
