Abstract

Cadets training to become licensed mariners based on the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW) Code have been under pressure to keep up with the countermeasures against COVID-19 from the Spring of 2020. For several reasons, sea training voyages were restricted or cancelled, and the schooling style was drastically changed from face-to-face to remote. Since the research vessel owned by Tokai University is not a training vessel exclusively for cadets, the decision was inevitably made to make more effective use of the shiphandling simulator. Because training in the simulator also had to be done remotely, new ideas were put into practice to explore the possibility of building new educational methods. Numerous open-ended evaluation comments were submitted by the cadets who received remote training on the simulator. The results suggested that the remote use of the simulator is likely to be an effective method for training in bridge resource management (BRM).
