520			_aBad 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.
