Cases of collisions are the USS Fitzgerald, USS McCain and Helge Ingstad; as a result the Helge Ingstad finally sank. These events show us that despite following the class rules for design and engineering the human factor remains crucial. So we have to be aware and take in to account that factor. As researchers of the Helge Ingstad’s accident concluded: ‘Due to the panic reaction of the crew nearly all watertight doors and hatches were left open’.
This paper opens a new view of watertight integrity into naval vessels. The current affairs and author’s work experience led to the idea to prevent incidents like the Helge Ingstad’s sinking. This paper explains the need of innovation and addresses the challenges to be faced.
