An experiment was conducted to study helmsman performance at the wheel of a ship during a turn. Conditions were defined by the independent variables of helmsman experience, ship size, ship's rate of turn, and rate of turn information availability. Helmsman test subjects were required to check the swing of a vessel with a standardized rate of turn and steady-up. A series of performance measures were developed to assess the quality of steering under each combination of experimental conditions.
