Avanço tecnológico e suas implicações para navegação

Abstract

This work has the objective of analyzing the implications of the technological progress of ships in relation to their size, form of propulsion and navigation equipment, this evolution has brought many benefits and when used in a professional and responsible way can improve the efficiency of the propellers, increase the size vessels, bringing more profit to its owners and with modern footbridge equipment, improves safety on navigation and avoids accidents. This research used the descriptive and explanatory method, based on books publications, international conventions and case studies where the accident with the ship Costa Concordia and the aerial accident, Varig 254 from Marabá to Belém, which left important lessons for navigators in both the airfield as maritime, we will verify that despite all technological, was not enough to avoid tragedy by focusing on details that I can pinpoint alleged flaw in behavior or attitudes that have led or contributed to disasters, coming to the conclusion that we need people every time trained and responsible personnel who do not focus only on electronic equipment, contrary to what is established in the STCW code in regulation VIII / 2, room service arrangements and principles to be observed that will be dealt with in more detail in this work, since ships are much safer and have much more maneuverability The hands of irresponsible people can not help. Finally, an innovative, autonomous, electric, unmanned ship project and its possible consequence for the maritime industry will be approached.
