I don't believe autonomous ships can replace human navigation jobs. There must always be a human to navigate. There can become errors on those autonomous ships that can make big disasters. Also, I am going start maritime school in august 27, where I will also learn navigation. So if all human navigators will be replaced in the future, then why can I still learn to navigate? And my future job stands on nr16 of best chances to get that job in the future. So, I don't worry about robots. Still nice school btw.
I agree with you, perhaps the navigation will be handled by computers but humans will be needed as fail safe.
Notions like these on the face of it make sense, but the reality is that expert systems are better than humans at this sort of task, eg. a large proportion of airline disasters occur because pilots override what the flight system is trying to do, the pilot unaware that their idea of the current state of the plane and its surroundings is often very wrong. If anything, it's humans and our imperfect perceptual abilities that are all too frequently in error. "I don't believe autonomous ships can replace human navigation jobs. ", is not an argument, it's a sentiment based on emotion (however understandable that may be), not facts and evidence. Indeed, commercial airlines don't really need pilots anymore, they're present in part because customers wouldn't fly without them, whatever the facts might prove. It's akin to passenger perceptions of trust, a pilot with an educated-sounding voice produces greater feelings of confidence than that of a strong regional accent.
The key to reliability with expert systems is correctness (formal methods), an information concept normally used to prevent bugs in the first place, but it's expensive to implement. Still, they're pretty good at it these days, hence why any modern fighter plane can exist at all, those things are perpetually balanced on a knife edge of stability, the pilot isn't really the one keeping the plane aloft - turn the flight computer off and the plane would fall out of the sky.
In order for a human to be a *reliable* failsafe, one must understand what kind of situations might require that kind of intervention. These normally involve great stress, a confusion of data and inputs, lack of situational awareness, etc., ie. precisely when humans are at their weakest. It's a bit like saying the backup for a sophisticated system should be a really basic one that's kinda iffy. :D
Note that I fully understand the sentiments involved here, the notion that a machine could replace a human operator is unnerving, but in large part in the modern world they already have. Consider the vast numbers of ICs inside the computers that run the systems on a ship, the circuit track layouts on those ICs were designed by a computer, it's too complicated for a human to do (though hand tuning can improve things in a desired aspect, such as performance over efficiency). Likewise, the flow analysis of hull shapes, machine learning systems for better engine design, all sorts of things, the list goes on and on. Irony is, navigation is probably one of the most effective uses of expert systems, partly because of the vast amount of existing data available upon which to design and train them (indeed, air traffic conrol systems are awash with automated navigational systems, as are flight computers on aircraft, and they have to cope with a 3D volume, vs. a 2D surface for sea navigation). When I first studied AI in the 90s I was looking into medical expert systems, but then became interested in visual simulation and training, and petroleum engineering applications inparticular (pipework layout and database amalgamation), ie. trying to cope with complexity like this:
www.sgidepot.co.uk/misc/oilrig.jpg
However, when all is said and done, you are right in one regard, there will always be potential scenarios that cannot be factored in to an expert system (such as piracy and terrorist threats). and from the nature of the work as it is, with so much complex maintenance required to keep a ship running (JeffHK, your vids are fanatastic btw, loved watching them all), there's always the possibility of mechanical failure or somesuch, hence why such systems need multiple backups, which adds to the cost, and even then there's the unexpected.
So yes, there will always be human operators around, but it isn't because a person can do the core task better (in this case, navigation), or make better decisions when things go wrong (about half the time they don't, at least in aviation). But then, humans being what we are, confidence and trust are important, a crew won't work so well if there's a lack of trust in the captain, which will certainly be less the case if the cap isn't seen to be in charge. On aircraft, sometimes a machine will make a recommendation that the pilot then approves, a sort of meeting of minds as it were, a halfway house of acceptable automation. In the medical field though, a lot of decisions really are fully automated, patients just don't know about it (hardly surprising really, it's impossible for any medical professional to keep up with all the latest research and clinical data, whereas an expert system can be constantly updated). You'd be amazed how broadly AI of this kind is used, eg. patent searching is one I read about a while ago.
It's a fascinating field, but you guys shouldn't worry, from everything I've seen in JeffHK's videos, I can't see how the vast majority of tasks on a ship could ever be automated, they're too complicated and hands-on. No matter how much I might know about the technical potential of modern systems, I'm still human, I still want you guys onboard, even if the ship's being guided by the world's best satnav. 8)
Btw Jeff, where can I find out more information about those large screen simulator systems? In the early 2000s I was sysadmin of an SGI RealityCentre, mainly used for urban planning, industrial design and medical applications.
Ian.
I don't agree with your first paragraph. The assertion that the majority of airline accidents are due to 'human error' isn't true, or at least, is highly misleading. Pilots have to step in over automated systems countless times every single time they go flying, and yet, nobody hears about it. When anything at all in an aircraft goes wrong, the automated systems switch off and hand over control to the pilot. When's the last time autopilot has landed a plane when one of the engines caught alight?
+cobiegaming Indeed. Vehicles may have autopilots, but there must always be someone on the vehicle who can take control if the autopilot does not work anymore. What if a unmanned ship, far away from the living world, loses its autopilot? Than who can save the ship? Answer: Humans, but than the ship must be manned.
It can even be that autopilots can be hacked. So we can not trust a autopilot more than a human. A ship should always be manned.
@@computerinsurgent1204 Well it has to connected to internet to be hacked, so our these ships connected to the internet?
One of the most interesting channels on UA-cam, thank you
Do you know any other channels like this (not necessarily about ships)
As one of the students from the Rotterdam Mainport University, by the STC Group and University of Rotterdam, I am really impressed by the facilities you showed here. I myself am nearly graduated Naval Architect :). Also have been closely related to Marime officers, as salvage and rescue is my field of expertize.
I do however proffesionally dissagree with you on autonomous vessels. We humans will never get replaced on vessels, as there is for instance wear and tear and maintenance to be done. Also so far the autonomous systems have never been without failure.
I do see us beeing assisted by autonomous systems, never replaced though ;)
I actually agree with you, the part about autonomous ships is just my awkward humor XD
JeffHK I found it hilarious! We will always need humans to maintain the robots just like the car manufacturing industry. Unless we get full fledged AI in which case we gotta really be banking on that musk dude to get us the hell of this planet xD
When are they going to build catamaran ships that ride on water rails? The water rails are two narrow channels with a solid space between them running parallel. Each of the two catamaran hulls sits in one of the channels and both have a propeller on the end. The trick is to guide them without hitting the solid space separating the two channels. They could incorporate maglev technology into the channels to keep the hulls from rubbing the sides and then you can have ship trains or at least have sideways wheels on the hull that will simply bump and roll off the channel sides. Kind of like how a train bridges over the two rails on which the wheels ride. People should buy up my Dance of Death a James Grider novel on Amazon so I can afford a used car. What's funny if I went to that school and suggested such idea, the administrators' faces would light up, "Wow! You're so clever. We love your idea. You will get very far in our school. Please, sign these FAFSA papers." Then real engineers would say, "This guy is a retard. We don't need retarded ideas like that."
The facilties at our school suck compared to them just sitting in class learning things instead of spending more time on the sim
Kieran Lepley why don't we just build a space elevator? Oh wait... things aren't that easy
Mate the editing of the video is awesome..just amazing..keep up the good work..
Jeffhk is backk!! 🤙👌
Glad you have made this video . I am happy to see that my academy has some matchings with yours of course as sophisticated as this we're on the right way
DUDE !!! YOU GOT THE TALENT FOR MAKING VIDEOS MAN !!
You got that right 👌
Haven't seen new videos in a while and suddenly, EUREKA! Always interesting subjects and discussions. Keep up the great work!
My favourite channel .one of the Finest editing
Send your video to AMC, just as a gift for your mother school. I think they would appreciate this awesome video you made!
Greetings from Vietnam Maritime University, great works Jeff, please keep making vlogs about seafarer cause I love those :D
Really loved this video. Notification squad.
Wow amazing editing! Please keep on uploading Jeff!
That simulation part was funny asf bro great video this makes me want to have a job like this. I have always been on the sea and love maritime stuff
I'm glad you are back jeff. Im always waiting for your new video.
Epic video! What amazing facilities you have there. Might have to do my stcw renewal there
What a great looking training center!....seeing the level of training you guys are going thru really drives home that you are professionals..Thanks for a very eye opening video..
JeffHK you have so good content on your channel. If only you could make videos more often...
okay :(
JeffHK Please, don't get me wrong. I absolutely love your maritime content, but waiting 5+ months for another video is not particularly inspiring.
ShadowGuidR I'm not saying that he should make videos 24/7. Maybe once a month?
@@supremeflagship8965 you do realize he's actually traveling by boat to these places right that takes time and he doesn't have internet while at sea.
What I consistently find amazing is that you have this whole other demanding job and yet you are one of the top YT editors out there. Many times better than most people who make YT their full-time job. Job security is being a dynamic human being, you'll always have a job.
Evan J to be fair he has like 2 months to edit 1 video. He has nothing to do while at sea
+Lion Stylo That's not exactly true. Sure, a person has a lot of confined down-time at sea that would otherwise be taken up with the usual "not at work" life activities, but if you've watched enough of Jeff's videos, you'd see he's not exactly sitting around doing nothing for 60 days either. This is after all his job, one for which (in this video) he's also going back to school to move up the ladder. Thats a considerable amount of dedication.
Perhaps most importantly, to become good at anything, you need to work hard at it. He's doing that in editing. He's one of the best YT editors I've seen. To say that anyone who has enough free time should be given less credit for actually doing something exceptional with it is missing the point. Not everyone on that ship is necessarily taking the same advantage of their time.
Excellent job Jeff. Very interesting to see the behind the scenes stuff in maritime life.
Finally a video! Been waiting!
Love your vids Jeff, an insight into a totally different world than my own
I probably won't get even close to a cabin ever on my life and don't find the subject that interesting, but i f'n love this videos. I find those so entertaining i'm studying those amazing, well edited content. That's so creative you could give classes about art of editing for some of my teachers at college. ( I'm studying cinema on Brazil, Sorry by the crappy english)
Your vlogs never disappoints
Learned so much on this 12 min video than on my 30+ years in the US Navy.
Finally this guy got his life back
Always look forward to your videos Jeff
Omg! Finally! After so long!
Interesting, educational, and entertaining. Love your videos!
Very entertaining. Kudos! Hope you're just as adept in your work life as you are here.
Awesome video! Amazing school. Good to know things like that are going on.
Interesting! I've enjoyed your sea transit videos a lot, and look forward to more!
Love this video. Sometimes I feel like I chose the wrong career path.
What a fantastic an awesome video, as usual...
Making UA-cam useful.
Thks for sharing Jeff.
More to come, I hope!!!!
rahepla Hi greetings from the US Marine base 5 unit camp here in Aleppo Syria
All vlogs are really helpful! Learning a lot from you bro! I hope I have a same school as yours.
Woaaahhhh... I thought sir Jeff was a Filipino the whole time not until I watch this videooo...
Hi JeffHK, came upon your channel recently. Have you ever visited Cape Town harbour? My office looks over the harbour and I love watching the huge container ships dock - it is mesmerising...
Yayyy u r back!
So cool! Greetings from Melbourne
Great Vid, Good to see your in my home country, had no idea the Uni of Tas has such a great facility.
Ow man this school is so awesome
Well Done! Jeff.
You've learned in the best scool for maritime industry and I am currently in the second best scool...
What’s your fave place to hang out on the ship when not doing anything E.G Bow, bridge wings, stern, cabin etc
Cabin because I have to edit videos lol
Between that and gym room.
JeffHK Haha nice! I’m a fan of the Bow and stern to hang out on. Like looking at where we’ve come from and what’s ahead of us.
and of course thinking about when we gonna sign off
Above the bridge or behind the stacks looking aft.
There are rumors that Jeff 'likes and replies' to comments like these
Is it true??
possibly
JeffHK I am in love with your vids Jeff
When are you joining the ship again? Can't wait see your more videos!! And congratulations for clearing your exam!! ;) Keep Inspiring
Some time Sept or Oct
You should do a day in the life
wow, amazing footage.... U made my day again :D
Here in Germany everyone tells you to stay away from maritime, except the ones that have worked offshore already, but your vids always make me think it's the best industry to join, at least for me :D let me know if you become captain so I know on which ship I have to sign in ;-)
Enjoy your incorporation of the 360 cam!
Is there IT work as Maritime? Because I'm studying in the field of IT and want to become a programmer. But does maritime have positions for IT like communications and stuff or whatever technology there is. I get that I'd have to be 'reschooled' so to speak in order to be able to do maritime work.
Woah I wish my school conduct more hands on than just theories
Great informative video. Well done.
Mind blowing video Jeff
Please try to upload videos a little faster
"Alot of cadets dont know if they can live on a ship" unless the ship doubles as a vodka distillery and or a marijuana dispensary then I'm certain where I stand:P
tax free beer?
JeffHK that wont do it. I have a real problem... being a cadet would be closer to rehab than anything else:P
Edit: Also it's okay, I'm in college therefore poor life decisions are a right of passage:D
Good job Jeff! Impressive!
Thanks Saif!
Studying in AMC soon?
JeffHK yep next semester 2019, still doing seatime 😋
Dude your editing skills are so good. I had literally no interest in maritime life before your videos, but you smooth edits hooked me.
all i can think when i hear that music is internet historian
9:40 heh dwarf legs
its Tyrion Lannister
JeffHK while you're here just wanted to say thanks for your videos, I've always wanted a career at sea. No big deal, I've just left IT and will eventually, hopefully be picked up for the merchant navy in the UK. Best of luck
I just a few months ago told you I applied to "Sea Captain" (lol) degree.
And I passed the test and already got the apartment in a new city and will start my deck studies in a month!!!!!!!! So excited. It's for 4,5 years. Hope I get out of Finland with it after!!!
Love love love this channel. I want even really into this stuff till I found your channel. Now I'm hooked. Thanks for posting again. Great video as always.
l need the Germany marine academy but just goverment please information to me
Love all your vlogs sir! Amazing editing skills, interesting topics!
Hi Jeff, thanks for the amazing and really informative videos. I really wanna see some video about safety and emergency drills on board. Love from India
I get overly excited when you upload, I never knew boats were so awesome haha
First heart I've ever got, now I really love them boats:P Keep killing it Jeff!
loved your simulation in a simulation skit...Top editing!!!
Lovely
New jeff video *_Y E E T_*
Jæk every time I see the word yeet I read it in my head as swaggersouls voice xD
Glad to see your still uploading Jeff! Man I wish those simulators were publicly available for people to buy
You could build one if you have a boat load of money eh.
Good job, amazing! But why in this vídeo u don't expose the machine room importance? I mean, vessels propulsion depends on engine maintanence... This kind of thing should be clear in the courses, right?
Bestregards from Brazil
Wish all schools on maritime would be like that Lol cause our school is lile a cram school yet so expensive
What do you mean, the ones in the USA have huge ships for training where they spend the whole summer going across the world.
good job, amazing
Wow! Amazing school!
I had fun watching hahahaha ❤
Do the people who work in the maritime industry have any special ceremonies? For instance in the US Navy you become a shellback for crossing the equator and golden dragon for crossing the international date line.
finally!!!!
Ahoy there! Excellent video as always Mate!

Don't you have uniforms? Here in our marine school in India we have different uniforms for every thing.
nope, most western countries dont require
JeffHK in America they do
You will never get bored on that school, theres a lot of adventures rather than studying.😍😉

Meanwhile im over here in New York City with a 60-year old training ship
Thomas lacognata SUNY?
yep
DAMN! That school though!
*Ohh tnx God Jeff is back after longtime!!! pleas Jeff next time no so long oke! hahahaha*
I recently just received my mmc but I don’t have any experience on a ship. What should I put on my resume? Should I put what I learn in school?
How you supposed to use the second anchor if the first destroyed or fall and lost in the water ? And how much electricity dose your ship use in one day (24hr) ? What is the longest time you have been in the water ? How much countrys did you docking ? Did you get your salary monthly ? What do you do if the captain need to fly to hospital becouse medical resones ? Do you have anti pirates tools ?
Just keeps getting better, Thank you , enjoyable and some really neat edits too.
Hello jeff, we are waiting for ur vidio. Great from indonesia :)
Very interesting! Could you advise me the best means to avoid seasickness? Sometimes I get it, sometimes I don't. I can't figure out why, or how to avoid it regardless. I race sailboats on my spare time. Thanks Jeff ;)
next vid!
Man I watched all your videos twice and the video titled 30 days time laps around sea I watched that at least 7 times
what are the fees for chief mates courses in AMC ? PLANNING SOON! : )
Where I am we have the marine institute and I've heard thats pretty good and the price is very low at $690 cad per semester. I'm interested in getting into the maritime field so I hope it will work out.
Yar,...there be memes ahead! gg!
Hey Jeff awesome videos. Are there any dedicated medical personnel on ship. I'm an EMT and thinking about finding a job on a ship. Thank you for any help you offer.
This is more of a promo video rather than a realistic look at how school life is for the courses that you covered. Most of the time people will sit in classrooms studying. Engineers playing with their toys, that which you covered, happens rarely. When I did aeronautical engineering it was like 4 times in 3 months or so. I don't like video's like this because they give people the wrong idea about what the course is really like.
Sir Please upload this video in your Facebook Page , I wish to share this .. thank you
okay
In Indonesia, Marine School implementing abusive "lessons" from their higher grade student. They call it "mentality test" so many of marine student at least ever feel punched or kicked physically as long as the new students coming. Repeat. It so stupid i think. Fucking useless
Simply wonderful. Loved it ❤️
Great video ! Big fans! I am planning to enrol the amc nautical science course next year. Just wanna ask you some questions :
1. How does pre sea deck works ? Do I pay full year fee for just half a year course ?
2. You finished your course already so No need to spend more time in uni. Just some more sea time for master ?
Must be expensive, it's free were I live but you need a company to sign an apprenticeship agreement of sorts before you can apply, and I have no idea how to go about it.
man, i live in mexico and i'm planning to study marine engineering, but i REALLY wish i could study in a school like that, are there any postgraduate options in the school?
I graduated from California Maritime Academy and went to sea. One way to find out what going to sea is like before graduation is to search some of the UA-cam videos made by people who are currently at sea. Look up the good sides and the bad sides of a career as a merchant marine officer this way. There will never be an unmanned merchant ship. This is for the same reasons why commercial aircraft have two qualified pilots. Things can and do go wrong on every voyage which requires human attention, besides monitoring and maintenance that can only be done by a human.
