Email this article The influence of computerized simulation techniques on maritime security exercises: ISPS code
Abstract
Maritime security necessitates adept collaboration among port facility security teams, seafarers, and governing authorities. Maritime Education and Training (MET), guided by international standards, conforms to their competence and proficiency, especially in security exercises, boosting understanding of roles and responsibilities in challenging security scenarios. The pivotal role of international maritime communities in shaping future MET by embracing computerized simulation techniques indicates a new era in maritime safety simulations but lacks insights into adopting security scenarios. Revolutionizing the use of computerized simulators for seafarers in maritime safety sectors is advancing, yet there is limited intervention in security exercises. This study explores integrating immersive technologies into theoretical "tabletop exercises", aiming to enhance the strengthening of realistic exposure to high-risk scenarios. The research emphasizes the significance of MET guided by international standards and proposes leveraging computerized simulation techniques, aiming to revolutionize security exercises. Employing a descriptive and analytical exploration approach, this study offers a thorough examination of challenges within maritime security training. It provides a comprehensive overview by not only describing the current state but also critically analyzing the potential impacts and effectiveness of immersive technologies. This assessment focuses specifically on how these technologies enhance practical training for maritime security personnel.
