Implication

Randomized trial evaluates vessel motion impacts on crew performance and operability in coastal navigation, suggesting a tailored approach for small vessels.

Key Points

The aim is to analyze the effects of vessel motion on crew operability and develop a new index for small and medium-sized vessels.
Continuous onboard measurements using GPS and IMU sensors were conducted on various small and medium-sized vessels.
Crew perception of motion's effects on operational tasks was correlated with the measured accelerations.
Key parameters including amplitude, frequency, and duration of accelerations were evaluated against existing motion-related criteria.
Identified key components of vessel motion that significantly affect crew performance and welfare.
Established a correlation between IMU accelerations and crew discomfort, indicating the need for tailored indices.
Proposed a decision-support tool to estimate operability loss based on real-world conditions.
