SE Australia
Nautical Institute - February Quarterly branch meeting
Wednesday 12th February @ 1800 – Quarterly branch meeting - Capt. Rob
Tanner, Senior Marine Pilot, Port Kembla. The Occidental hotel, Sydney
CBD.
We are very fortunate to have another Port Kembla Marine Pilot
presenting at our quarterly branch meeting. NI member Capt. Rob Tanner,
Senior Marine Pilot, Port Kembla has very kindly agreed to speak on an
area that greatly interests him.
The topic is Humans and Autonomous ships - Technology has historically
been created for the purpose of assisting humans and improving
productivity. It is claimed that a large percentage of maritime
incidents are attributable to human error, and by increasing the
autonomy of a vessel it will correspondingly decrease those incidents.
System design engineers assert that humans and onboard autonomous
systems will need to work alongside each other so they augment each
other’s capabilities.
A human centred approach is therefore
required when considering the design of shipboard systems, whilst
correspondingly the maritime industry will need to address the skill
levels and knowledge requirements of the future seafarer.
Please RSVP myself by text on 0437681277 or
pawalshe@hotmail.com &
