Situation awareness information requirement for marine engine room monitoring at future shore control centre

Autonomous ship; Situation awareness information requirement; Marine engine room monitoring; Shore control centre; Remote operation; Goal-directed task analysisAbstract
Information integration for explicit comprehension can be highly challenging in a large-scale system with interconnected equipment under the influence of the environment. This presents a great challenge in acquiring and maintaining situation awareness during the transition from traditional to remote and eventually to autonomous operation. However, the maritime industry appears to approach situation awareness in a highly restricted manner that focuses on visual and navigational awareness only, resulting in no support system for engine room monitoring. This research conducted a goal-directed task analysis with thirty-one subject matter experts with an average sea experience of 9.78 years to investigate situation awareness in the engine room. As a result, the situation awareness information requirements for nine machineries and twelve systems are developed. The findings reveal that numerous perception elements and their complex combinations for higher-level awareness comprise situation awareness, and situation awareness deterioration is highly likely due to the replication or reproduction of ship sense and expanded system coverage to compensate for the lack of marine engineers in ships. This research proposes that presenting higher-level situation awareness information in consideration of schema instantiation could be a promising alternative to developing and optimising the situation awareness support system for engine room monitoring at the future shore control centre.
