    Integrating elements of modern technology in maritime safety and training /
    (AIP Publishing, 2021-01-01) Rana, Prateek
    A majority of the accidents on board a ship occur due to poor knowledge of safety regulations or carelessness towards the same. As a remedy, this paper will propose ideas that include digitalization of safety procedures so as to realize the powers of visual perception of information over a paper-based one, a unique Safety Wear and Equipment Identification system and pre-board training using Virtual Reality. Interactive, touch-screen monitors, the size of usual tablets will be affixed to the walls of numerous rooms and spaces across the ship (e.g.: engine room) that will revolutionize the way safety norms are implemented. They will also have cameras, affixed. Our second idea is to popularize the use of Virtual Reality to help new seafarers become acquainted with the ship's infrastructure. Before the first sail, 360 degree-videos of different parts of the ship will be played to the cadets by their company, through a Virtual Reality Headset so that he/she receives a life-sized, immersive view of the ship and is better informed about each machinery, valve, tank etc. and becomes familiarized with the layout of the ship. This will help them perform their duties more swiftly and efficiently.

They will also have cameras, affixed. Object-recognition software, paired with these cameras will scan the image of the person, starting a task, to ensure that he/she has every necessary safety wear/equipment/tool on them, specific to the task that they are performing. Unless verified by the software, a person cannot start the job. There’s a study of how this software helps to fulfil International Safety Management (ISM) CODE to a new level and how using it can help shipping companies.
