• Abstract:
  This report describes an exploratory first phase of an investigation of human stress and fatigue in the merchant marine. Its principal purposes were to: survey the effects of fatigue on human performance in the transportation industries; describe the state of the art in measuring fatigue; investigate the causes of stress and fatigue on merchant ships; summarize the insights gained about the implications of reduced manning as well as measures to mitigate fatigue; and discuss the results of preliminary attempts to gauge fatigue during the routing voyages using survey methods.
