Modern ships are saturated with electronic devices designed to assist the operator in making operational decisions. To fulfill their role, they must generate accurate and reliable diagnoses. This depends on the degree of adaptation to the controlled object, the accurate placement of measurement points, the appropriate accuracy and reliability of measuring instruments, and sound expert knowledge (necessary for the proper programming of data processing systems). If the applied systems are able to eliminate some of the errors made by humans and can generate information supporting the operator in making accurate operational decisions, they will thereby contribute to increasing the safety of navigation.Maritime disasters, in which people die and the natural environment is polluted, trigger discussions and scientific debates on the safety of maritime transport.
