Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research is aimed at promoting visualization of the ship's environment and developing a visualization system of mooring conditions for early acquisition of seafarer skills. The research achievements include the creation of a mooring rope tension measurement and display device using load cell sensors. Using the device, the tension data of all mooring ropes of the experimental vessel could be consolidated and listed on a PC screen via WiFi. As a result of the experiment, we were able to clarify that the mooring rope must support the forces in three directions, the front-back direction of the ship and the lateral direction on the opposite side of the quay wall, with a total of two or more mooring ropes. It was also found that when the distance from the quay wall was set to 0 m, it was easy for a high load to be applied to a particular mooring rope, making it unsuitable for long-term mooring of the vessel.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

船員教育分野において，海上ブロードバンド通信の発達，ビッグデータ等の発展の中で，今後の自動運搬船等の高度情報通信船舶の発達を見据えた高度な海技人材育成方法を模索していく必要がある．そこで，本研究では船内環境の見える化推進と船員技能の早期習得を目的にした「船員技能の早期習得のための係船状態の見える化システムの開発」という議題を掲げた．
本研究が実現されると，これまで経験により習熟されてきた船舶の係船状態が数値化される．これにより係船技能の早期習熟が期待され，且つ，船内環境の見える化につながるため，船内外においても，船舶係船監視ができるため，船員労働環境改善も期待できる．
