The purpose of this project is to design a device that solves an experienced communication problem on a large container ship. The project is conducted in collaboration with a major international container shipping company. The project focuses on the communication between the captain on the bridge and officers managing the crews that are working at the bow and stern when a ship is arriving at or leaving a port. Today, that communication is based on VHF radios. Therefore, it is disturbed by noise and sometimes one of the parties forgets to report back about a task in progress. With these problems as the point of departure, we are creating an overall design vision of a system that makes the communication persistent and supports the management of on-going tasks. We will program a prototype that implements this design concept on a mobile pocket PC and usability test it in our laboratory
