| Resumen |
Five mobile offshore drilling unit disasters were studied to assess the degree to which seasickness occurs and endangers the lives of occupants of totally-enclosed motor-propelled survival craft (TEMPSC). Other marine incidents were reviewed and a literature search was carried out to assess the same seasickness problem. Seasickness was found to occur in 75% or more of TEMPSC occupants in four of the rig disasters studied. Good leadership and practical training in sea survival play a major part in the amelioration of seasickness, and good ergonomics and redesign of the TEMPSC would help control seasickness and improve habitability. |
