Design-Driven Innovation: A New Design Meaning for Superyachts as a Less Egocentric User Experience

Due to significant investment in developing new entertainment pathways from a multicultural perspective, the cruise sector is more progressive than the superyacht industry, which primarily focuses on exterior aesthetics and bespoke client luxury informed by cultural specificity. Moving beyond LY3 to the use of SOLAS PYC 13-36 on a larger interior area vessel platform than current superyachts, either monohull or catamaran, greater than 100m Loa, facilitates the opportunity to use the interior design meaning of a cruise ship with an atrium stairwell as a design focal point inspired by the emotional design of luxury hotels and a range of lounge variations to be used as an adaptable space. This paper presents a Transfer of Innovation (TOI) of a conceptual design approach to support the evolution of the megayacht towards a less egocentric product, informed by the design practices of the cruise ship industry. Addressing the market sector between superyachts and ultra-luxury cruise ships, through a new design meaning informed by technological innovation through the process of Design-Driven Innovation. Contemporary trends in cruise ship are rapidly evolving towards spectacularization and dematerialization. Entertainment is a core focus for cruise companies, immersing the passengers in a range of emotionally engaging experiences, which continuously change in space and time, resulting in the ever growing investments in entertainment technology. The passenger is attracted in an emotional path, constructed to give surprise and delight at every corner, through formal stereotypes, pop culture, and live shows. The main key trends of which are discussed, such as the use of large adaptable spaces, and the creation of a continuous passengers’ flux along the ship in an urban-like environment, where different design languages meet.

The full spectrum of marine design from small craft to superyachts, including commercial and specialist vessels, will be examined. The IJMD is published as Part C of the Transactions of The Royal Institution of Naval Architects.
Contributions in the form of papers and reviews on the following aspects of aesthetic marine design are invited:
Design visualisation (including design methodologies, design practice, innovative concepts, design analysis tools, computer aided design), TOI (Transfer of Innovation) from other industry sectors).
Ergonomics and domotics (including UCD (User Centred Design) methodologies, emotional design methodologies, TOI (Transfer of Innovation) from other industry sectors).
Sustainability in construction (including one-off construction and series production issues, facility design, materials, joining technologies, reconstructions and rebuilds of historic craft).
Sustainability in operation (including, equipment, results of sea trials, results of instrumentation, TOI (Transfer of Innovation) from other industry sectors).
Implementation of regulations in the design process (including international, national, and regional regulatory frameworks, classification, codes of practice, rating rules).
Virtual work/learning environments (including, CPD for marine designers, networking opportunities for innovation and exchange, virtu al work environments to facilitate multi-disciplinary, multinational teams).
Wind Farm Support Vessel (WFSV) & Motherships(SOV) by Dr Seán McCartan

The aim of which is to provide innovative professional development training and networking to commercial marine industry employees (Naval Architects, project managers), by transferring embedded practices within interior design and the leisure marine industry (superyachts). This will enable the European commercial marine sector to understand and exploit growing design opportunities in the wind farm support vessel sector to produce more appealing working conditions for this new and growing sector to help recruit new staff and reduce the risk of human error. This industry needs report contains the following:
• Advanced Human Factor (HF) Analysis - The first reported Task Analysis on board a WFSV in service, with an innovative application of Digital Human Modeling (DHM) to support bridge design.
• Marine Design Methods and Techniques - An overview of Marine Design as an multidisciplinary holistic design process with a strong focus on the end users as well as stakeholders in the design process, based on the principles of Industrial Design.
• Offshore Wind Industry O&M Trends and Future Predictions - A review of current O&M vessel trends for CTVs and motherships, with proposals for CTVs and next generation motherships to support the EWEA predicted technician recruitment target for 2030.
• The Needs Analysis of the Commercial Vessel Industry in Europe - In summary the needs analysis supports the following key proposals of the EBDIG-WFSV project:
o Marine Design could offer competitive advantage if clients became aware of its' value
o Marine Design CPD accredited by RINA would be of significant interest to the sector
o DHM would be a TOI of significant interest to the industry
o Open Innovation and a support infrastructure would be of significant interest to the industry
o WFSV and motherships would be an opportunity for business diversification in UK, ES and TR

Um die Funktionsfähigkeit der WFSV für die Zufahrt auf Farshore-Windparks zu verbessern, sind Mutterschiffe erforderlich. Auf die Schiffsunterkunft angewendete Design-Prinzipien für Innenräume sollen dazu beitragen, die negativen Auswirkungen der Schichtarbeit zu reduzieren, indem ein Stress-reduzierendes Wohnumfeld geschaffen wird. Human Factor Integration (im Verteidigungssektor gut etabliert) bei der Gestaltung der Brücke reduziert die kognitive Arbeitsbelastung und damit das Risiko von menschlichen Fehlern, welche die häufigste Ursache von Schiffsunfällen sind.

För att förbättra den operationella förmågan för WFSV mot avlägsna vindkraftverksparker offshore kommer speciella Moder fartyg att krävas. Genom att applicera specifika inredningsdesign principer för fartygets boende kommer att minska de negativa effekterna av skiftarbete, genom att skapa en låg stress tilltalande livsmiljö. Human Factor Integration (väletablerad inom försvarssektorn) i utformningen av bryggan kommer minskar kognitiv arbetsbelastning och därmed minska risken för mänskliga misstag, den viktigaste orsaken till olyckor till sjöss.

Allo scopo di incrementare l'operatività delle WFSV saranno quindi necessarie navi madri più grandi che a loro volta costituiranno una base di riferimento per le navi appoggio. L’applicazione di innovativi criteri di progettazione agli interni delle navi madri contribuirà a ridurre gli effetti negativi sul personale del lavoro a turni, attraverso la creazione di un ambiente di lavoro e di vita piacevole e in grado di ridurre il livello di stress. La considerazione del fattore umano nelle tecniche di progetto della plancia di comando, noto come Human Factor Integration (tecnica questa già consolidata nel settore della difesa), può contribuire a ridurre il carico di lavoro psicologico e di conseguenza il rischio di errori umani, ritenuta la causa più frequente di incidenti navali.

Rüzgar Çiftliği Destek Gemilerinin işlerliğinin artırılarak kıyılardan uzakta bulunan rüzgar çiftliklerine ulaşımın sağlanabilmesi için ana gemiler gerekli olacaktır. İç tasarım ilkelerinin gemilerin yaşam ortamlarına uygulanması ile sağlanacak düşük gerilimli yaşam düzeyi vardiyalı çalışmanın olumsuz etkilerini azaltmaya yardımcı olacaktır. Askeri gemi tasarımlarında çok iyi uygulamaları olan İnsan Faktörü Entegrasyonun Köprü üstü tasarımına uygulanması ile bilişsel yükün azaltılması sonucu deniz kazalarının en önemli nedeni olan insan hatası riski de azaltılacaktır.

Προκειμένου να βελτιωθεί η επιχειρησιακή δυνατότητα των WFSVs να προσεγγίζουν στα πολύ απομακρυσμένα από την ξηρά αιολικά πάρκα, απαιτείται η ναυπήγηση ενός μεγαλύτερου πλοίου που ονομάζεται αλλιώς και μητρικό (mothership) και θα μεταφέρει μικρότερα βοηθητικά σκάφη στα αιολικά πάρκα. Η κατάλληλη εσωτερική σχεδίαση του μητρικού πλοίου θα δημιουργήσει στο χρήστη ένα φιλικό περιβάλλον, επιτρέποντας τον περιορισμό των αρνητικών επιπτώσεων από τις εναλλαγές των βαρδιών δημιουργώντας ένα προσιτό περιβάλλον με χαμηλό στρες. Η ενσωμάτωση του ανθρώπινου παράγοντα στη σχεδίαση διαμερισμάτων του μητρικού πλοίου όπως για παράδειγμα της γέφυρας (στα πρότυπα της αντίστοιχης σχεδίασης των πολεμικών πλοίων) θα μειώσει την πνευματική κόπωση των χρηστών και κατά συνέπεια το ρίσκο που πηγάζει από το ανθρώπινο λάθος, που είναι και ο σημαντικότερος παράγοντας ατυχημάτων στην ναυτική βιομηχανία.
