Tiivistelmä
The objective of this thesis was to learn whether the bridge equipment of motor vessel MERSol meets the classification requirements set by Lloyd’s Register. The outcome of the thesis will eventually be used in the development of an online learning module, aimed at maritime students and professionals.
As MERSol is stationed in Walvis Bay, Namibia, it was necessary for me to carry out the research remotely. The project manager of MERSol provided me with drawings, pictures, and other technical documents so that I could perform my work. I utilised the quantitative research method and analysed the material that was provided to me and compared it to the rules and regulations defined in Lloyd’s Register’s Rulefinder.
The outcome of my research shows that MERSol was designed and outfitted to meet the requirements for safe periodic operation under the supervision of a single watchkeeper on the bridge.
