Type-specific training key for smarter and safer navigation

摘要

Introducing modern technology into the ancient art of marine navigation is a complex issue, the human element being the most complex issue of all, says London P&I Club loss prevention manager Carl Durow. He explained to Maritime Digitalisation & Communications that shipowners and managers will benefit from e-navigation if crews are properly trained on e-navigation technology, including ECDIS. Technology eases e-navigation adoption on board ships, but does not change the activity of safe navigation.
