Human Factors & Overreliance on ECDIS

175,00 

This course examines the psychological and behavioral risks associated with automated navigation, focusing specifically on how watchkeepers develop an unsafe overreliance on Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS). Participants will explore the concept of automation bias, learning how a glowing screen can create a false sense of security and lead to diminished visual lookouts and reduced radar cross-checking. The training provides practical strategies to combat screen-induced fatigue and complacency, helping bridge teams maintain sharp situational awareness, question automated data, and use ECDIS as a supportive tool rather than a blind replacement for traditional seamanship.
