| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立高雄海洋科技大學 === 航運技術研究所 === 102 === Fatigue is a normal experience in our daily life and a common complaint in the general population. It may refer to many related but distinct states, and can incorporate physiological, biomechanical, and psychological factors. It is generally considered as a subjective sensation with behavioural, emotional, and cognitive components and is probably best seen as a continuum. In recent years, the concern on seafarers’ fatigue has been increasing as it has threatened the safety of life at sea, cargo, ship and the environment. This paper, based on a literature review on seafarers’ fatigue and fatigue management recommended by international organisations, investigates the relationship between ship scheduling and fatigue risk. It uses the data on ship scheduling from the top three major container liners in Taiwan to find out if ship scheduling has potential effects on the risk of seafarers’ fatigue.
