Abstract
Modern ship bridges show a high degree of automation. A large amount of information concerning navigation, safety and security as well as the monitoring and control of the technical facilities on board are integrated in the operational displays on the bridge. With respect to the level of integration of the sensors, equipment, displays and assistance systems a modern ship bridge can be defined as a highlycomplex man-machine system. As such the safety and efficiency of its handling is dependent on the communication between the human and the machines during the accomplishment of tasks. Humans can fulfill their assigned monitoring, control, and decision tasks most effectively, if the information flow between them and machines is adapted to the human skills and abilities (e.g., Lutzhoft 2004). To support the mariner effectively, information should be presented taskand situation-dependent.
