But... why is shiphandling training necessary?

Because human error is still the main cause of accidents.

In an ideal world, shiphandling training would consist of three things:

1. Training on board real ships : the environment is obviously realistic, but the time spent and the acceptable risks are limited.

2. Training on manned models: manoeuvres can be pushed beyond the safety limits and ships sail on real water, but there is limited reproduction of the captain’s vision and of wind conditions.

3. Training on numerical simulators: the water and boats are simply equations, but the bridge and 360° vision are realistic enough to simulate Bridge Team Management and crisis management.
