Extract

A ship domain may be thought of as the sea around his ship which the navigator would like to keep free, with respect to other ships and fixed objects. In this paper, which was read at an Institute meeting in London on 12 February 1975 with Captain R. Mayboum in the Chair, Mrs. Goodwin describes studies to determine the dimensions of a domain based on radar simulator performance and traffic surveys in the North Sea. She also suggests applications of this domain concept to marine traffic engineering problems and to traffic control schemes.

In recent years there has been an increasing interest in the sea for it is to the world a means of communication, a source of food and a source of minerals.
