The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

AZIPILOT aims to improve, by policy and design, the safety and security of ships, considering the man-machine interface and the training of maritime pilots; specifically when operating ships equipped with azimuthing control devices. Azimuthing control has rapidly established itself in the maritime industry. While the industry has risen to meet this demand, rapid evolution has not allowed sufficient time for the propagation of knowledge throughout the different disciplines. Though the various sectors of the industry each have their own expertise, a lack of communication is both restricting progress and compromising safety and security, and much work is being repeated unnecessarily. To address this problem, AZIPILOT brings together specialists in Hydrodynamic Modelling, manufacturers of Marine Simulators, Maritime Training facilities and practitioners in Operation Practice such as pilot associations. The paper gives an overview of the aims and objectives of AZIPILOT and summarises the work so far. © 2009: The Royal Institution of Naval Architects.
