Abstract

In shipping, which is one of the drivers of the world's economy, many marine accidents continue to occur, such as ship collisions and grounding. To reduce marine collision accidents, seafarers' skills must be improved through training. Therefore, the authors propose a ship handling training for collision avoidance (hereinafter referred to as "T for CA") in which a group of several people discusses the ship handling for collision avoidance, assuming the situation of the collision avoidance. After T for CA implementation, anchoring training was done and the effect of T for CA was verified through comparison with a group where T for CA was not applied. Two instructors evaluated the anchoring training conducted with and without "T for CA". The anchoring training experiment showed a difference of 27.5% in the achievement rate between the proposed training and previous training. T for CA maximises the effects of group work and resulted in good evaluations in the anchoring training experiments. The training was effective because the students themselves set the scenarios and devised ship handling strategies for collision avoidance. In addition, group work discussions helped deepen students' knowledge and skills.
