Abstract: This paper reports a multiple case study of a training center collaboration with three offshore companies and a coastline authority. Through a qualitative inquiry, we utilized the actor-network theory to analyze the common understanding of simulator use in these organizations. The paper argues that the simulator itself is an actor that can integrate shared interests with other actors to establish an actor-network. Such an actor-network expands simulator use beyond purely training purposes. It advocates that the simulator is a medium between maritime academia and industry and aligns it with the same actor-network to facilitate the process of "meaning construction." Such a meaning construction process offers simulator-based training with a valuable definition of the learning outcomes. It helps clarifying who will gain the benefits from simulator use in the future, as well as when and on what basis. The paper also reflects on the benefits and limitations of utilizing a multiple case study in the maritime domain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Intelligent machines and advancing IT technologies enabling operators on a ship's bridge can work together with the platform and other vessels via communications channels. Even though research has addressed on the importance of "readback" skills in maritime communication, chaos communications in reality dismiss those "readback" skills. Due to poor design of communications channels, interactive relations between a group people and systems are overlooked. This paper records a case that took place in one of the offshore oilfields at Sea, which due to poor communications, resulted in unsafe operations. We adapt actor-network theory (ANT) to analyze and characterize weakness points of interaction relations between human and human communications as well as human and machine communication for maritime operations. We suggest that more training on communications, focusing on communications in interaction relations, would help enhancing safety concerns in safety critical working environments.
