Abstract
This paper describes the results of an experiment onboard a training ship that aimed at assessing effectiveness of onboard Ship Maneuvering Simulator (SMS) training. And, based on the results of the experiment, authors propose the optimal combination of onboard SMS training with actual training on a training ship. In the experiment, cadets were divided into group A and B, and practiced the anchoring practice according to the same scenario both by onboard SMS and by actual ship. Cadets practiced the training in a team that consist of 3 cadets who played the role of Captain, 1st officer and 3rd officer. The group A cadets went through the SMS training first and then the real onboard training, and the opposite was the case for the group B cadets. In the real anchoring practice using the test ship, ship-handling skill of cadets were scored by experienced instructors. In general, the figure of ability rank of group A was higher than that of group B in all elemental techniques, we considered that effective training on a training ship is possible by combining the onboard SMS training and actual training. On the application of proposed training method, it is important to choose a proper training item after consider the advantage of the onboard SMS training. As training replay function is one of the unique points of simulator, the use of onboard SMS is effective for the debriefing to cadets after real training.
