Improving Ship Operational Design

Bad ship design can kill people. It can also make working on board difficult and resting on board impossible. Good design can make maritime operations safer and more effective. This book aims 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.Practical articles on ship types and the operational requirements of personnel, illustrated by case studies, form the core of the book. References are given along with suggestions for further reading, all of which corresponds to the work carried out by the CyClaDes project.
