ABSTRACT
This chapter reports the findings of the maritime smart technologies ecosystem (MSTE) study, 2020. This sub-study was carried out in support of the HUMANE project to explore the scope of roles for ergonomics in relation to high levels of ship automation. Over three online sessions, we looked at opportunities for maritime ergonomics in the impact and management of maritime digitalisation in a novel way. The investigation was on the question: Is there an ecosystem for smart technologies in the maritime sector? And, if so, the supplementary question: How healthy is it? And the final question of the study: What does that mean for us and in a more general sense to maritime ergonomists?
