Why Mariners Stay Silent: The Hidden Dangers of Poorly Designed Systems and layout Speak Up ABOUT Bad Design This video delves into the intricate relationship between ship design, human factors, and maritime safety. Ships are not just structures; they bring together humans, technology, and nature and require careful management to ensure safety at sea. It is important to consider effective systems and ergonomically sound designs to enhance maritime safety. Poor design can lead to increased risks and accidents, which can have serious real-world consequences. Usability issues often indicate more profound problems with ship layout or system interfaces. Human-centred design involves involving mariners in the design process to create practical and user-friendly outcomes. Ergonomics is vital in designing work environments onboard ships, prioritising worker productivity, health, comfort, and safety. An incident demonstrates how bridge design contributed significantly to an accident. Mariners' insights are crucial for preventing accidents and making better decisions at sea. We need better communication between end-users and ship designers. Reporting onboard issues is vital for industry awareness and proactive measures. Technological shortcomings impact maritime operations, and mariners should speak up about equipment issues to drive change. Together, we can create more intuitive designs and safer seas. Key Points: Effective systems and ergonomically sound designs are vital to enhancing maritime safety. The real-world consequences of poor design include increased risks and accidents. How usability issues often reflect more profound problems with ship layout or system interfaces. The concept of human-centred design: involving mariners in the development process to create more practical and user-friendly outcomes. Ergonomics: designing work environments onboard ships that prioritise worker productivity, health, comfort, and safety. Insights from a survey conducted by the Nautical Institute with Ocean Project on seafarer engagement with ship design—revealed a lack of training but first-hand experience with challenges due to poor designs. A case study analysis from 2015's City of Rotterdam collision incident demonstrating how bridge design contributed significantly to an accident. Takeaways: 1. Mariners' insights are invaluable for creating functional designs that prevent accidents and facilitate better decision-making at sea. 2. There is an urgent need for improved communication channels between end users (seafarers) and those involved in designing ships' layouts/systems. 3. Reporting shortcomings encountered on board is essential for industry awareness about existing problems—encouraging proactive improvement measures. This video underscores that technological shortcomings profoundly impact maritime operations—and it is not always the fault of seafarers when things go wrong. We urge mariners to speak up about any vessel or equipment issues they encounter; their involvement could be pivotal in driving change towards safer seas. The OCEAN Project concluded on 30 September 2025, marking the end of three years of research and innovation supported by the European Union and UK Research and Innovation. Its legacy continues through the publicly available resources, training materials, and tools designed to make navigation safer for all.
