Thomas Porathe, Information Design Visualizing Decision Space 10 The National Transportation Safety Board determined that the probable cause of the grounding of the EXXON VALDEZ was the failure of the third mate to properly maneuver the vessel because of fatigue and excessive work load; the failure of the master to provide a proper navigation watch because of impairment from alcohol; the failure of Exxon Shipping Company to provide a fit master and a and a rested and sufficient crew; the lack of an effective Vessel Traffic Service because of inadequate equipment and manning levels, inadequate personnel training, and deficient management oversight; and the lack of effective pilotage services.

Thomas Porathe, Information Design Visualizing Decision Space 12 Some factors influencing a ships turn rate Onboard factors: Static: Shape and length of hull Type of rudder Type of propulsion Dynamic: Draught and trim (Speed) External factors: Wind Current Waves Local depth
