Abstract
The target of on-going EU-FP7 project FAROS is to find
links between ship design features and crew performance
especially on RoPax vessels and tankers. This paper
present studies of the influence of ship motions,
vibrations and noise on ship's crew performance and
well-being. Calculation procedures to determine novel
concepts Motion Induced Sickness (MIS) and Motion Induced
Interruption (MII) for a ship in given wave conditions
and operation profile are presented. Motion limits for
ship crew and influence of motions on crew performance
and well-being are discussed. Mariners are interviewed on
how ship motions, vibration and noise influence their
performance on board. Interview results show that
adaptation of mariners to ship motions is high and
seasickness among experienced mariners is rare. It seems
also that vibration and noise has seldom strong influence
on performance during normal watch of mariners. However
ship motions, vibration and noise may cause fatigue or
interrupt demanding operations like maintenance on board
the ship.
