Development of a method for marine accident analysis with bridge simulator

The ship operation is system of systems consisted of various systems such as ship management, navigational support, cargo handling and port facility. The marine accidents cause considerable damage to logistics and environment. So, it is effective to ensure the safety of the ship operation. The purpose of this paper is to propose an analytical method for marine accident analysis with the bridge simulator and to confirm the effectiveness of the method. By this analytical method, it has shown to find out the most important factor in navigational watch to avoid marine accident.
