This paper reports on the outcome of the recent research carried out on accidents and incidents to develop a range of scenarios in full-mission simulators as well as on the development of e-learning/assessment platform for ship crew skill development primarily to prevent emergency situations and to manage emergencies when they occur. In the IMO MSC
82 meeting a great deal of emphasis was placed on the role of human factors in accidents at sea, focusing particularly on how human errors have led to great losses of life and property. It has also been acknowledged that the simulator exercises have not focussed on real emergencies at sea.
The research presented here makes special references to the Leonardo
Safety On Sea (SOS) project (2005-07), which updated and harmonised the Maritime Education and Training (MET) programmes for deck and engineering offi cers in several EU countries. The SOS project identifi ed defi ciencies in maritime education and training, identifying training in emergency situations at sea an area for serious consideration. M’AIDER addresses this defi ciency specifi cally to avoid collisions, grounding and other dangerous situations and what needs to take place once these situations arise.
The scenarios are being developed by carefully studying past maritime accident reports focussing on the most critical/dangerous emergency.
Prior to creating the scenarios, a survey was conducted to identify the reason of the emergency situations and to identify the most frequent
