N2 - ABSTRACT: The thinking faculty and operating ability of ship operators tend to be affected by their tensional task loads under the pressures from navigating environment. The suitable navigation support system has to be considered the relation between incidence of human errors and mental stress degree of operators during ship navigation. For clarifying an issue of mental stresses for task loads of ship operators, this paper describes that the mental stresses were analyzed quantitatively by measuring the heart rate variability under tensional work-load during navigations of several car-ferries, and the suitable measures were examined in order to reduce the work-load and the incidence of human errors caused by the task with high-tension under severe navigation environment.
