Abstract

Assessment of maritime training has been a growth in collaborations between nautical instructors and researchers in marine operations. Through a qualitative study and using eye tracking data, this paper presents a case study wherein the relations between communications and visual focus in dynamic positioning (DP) operations in maritime operations are examined. We investigated how communication and visual focus are related to DP operations in a team of marine operators. The results show that communications and visual focus do affect marine operations in the consistency, conciseness and maximum effect of communication skills through two rules—(1) the effectiveness of communications and visual information from eyes, (2) the goldfish memory skills for communications.
