Lack of standard user interfaces across bridge equipment is a major concern for maritime safety.

As pilots face this problem throughout every shift they need to put in considerable effort to adjust their work to the many user interfaces they meet.

Manoeuvring large ships at close quarters and on shallow water is one of the most difficult aspects of shiphandling because of the complex hydraulic interactions depending on the ships' speeds, on the water depth and on lateral restrictions like in canals. Training is conducted both on meeting and on overtaking ships in shallow waters. This video shows how overtaking in a canal can easily fail.
