Identifying the problem what the mariner requires of the naval architect Principles derived from the Nautical Institute survey into the shortcomings of operational design as found at sea Why the seafarer should be more involved in the design process Improving operational design through plan approval Improving operational design through project management Application of techniques and competencies to improve the design process Operational design and through life costs the application of cost benefit analysis Application of ergonomics in design Conflict resolution in ship design How to achieve ongoing improvement in operational design Bad ship design can kill people. It can also make working onboard difficult and resting onboard impossible. Good design can make maritimeoperations safer and more effective. The aim is to give naval architects and ship designers, both new and experienced, an insight into how seafarers work and live on theships they design and how their daily lives could be improved by focusing on human-centred design.Naval architects rarely get an opportunity to go to sea, and there are few avenues for seafarers to make their views known todesigners. The Nautical Institute would like to start a dialogue to help improve the flow of information between naval architects and seafarers, and to follow up on the work carried out by the CyClaDes project.
