Abstract
Considering the potential shift in the maritime domain towards shore-based (unmanned) navigation in the future, the role of Shore Control Centers (SCCs) and their instruments to provide the human-vessel interactions will gain in importance. With the advancements in satellite navigation systems and sensor technology, one could argue that electronic instruments can better assist shore-based skippers and improve their situational awareness. However, the correctness or precision of an assistive tool's outcome does not necessarily mean that the tool is useful for a ship-handler’s cognition. This study aims to provide insights into this validation gap by investigating the impact of a newly developed navigation aid on the accuracy and safety performance of shore-based ship handlers.
