Application of artificial intelligence in the process of supporting the ship owner's decision in the management of ship machinery crews, in the aspect of shipping safety

Abstract

The article discusses the problem of the impact of crew competence level, including ship's engine crews on the amount of operational losses and the occurrence of failures. Errors made at a higher decision level generate serious consequences as a result of incorrect decisions in the operation of the ship, including loss of the ship. A higher level of qualification decreases the probability of improper operation of the ship while increasing the level of safety of navigation, which the ship is a participant. Expert systems are a modern tool that can help and automate decision making at sea, how to assist ship owners in the selection of competent deck and machine crews. In the article, an example of the possibility of using artificial intelligence was presented as an expert system, designed to support the ship-owner in the management of ship machinery crews in the aspect of shipping safety.
