A novel approach for Decision Support System in marine applications

This paper focuses on the development of a knowledge-based Decision Support System (DSS) or the management of the ship compartment integrated information that comprises real-time devices status and remote command, simple full-navigability on the topology of the ship by CAD drawings, operator actions sharing through Multifunction Console (MFCs), recorded video clip and others. The developed system allows sensible benefits in terms of reduced situational awareness and action time
