Abstract

Simulation modeling is one of the most commonly used methods of studying the functioning of complex systems to assess possible risks. The use of simulation methods allows us not only to conduct a detailed analysis of the situation, but also to assess the probability of avoiding or appearance of a threat. The ship’s crew must be staffed by qualified seafarers who have received a favorable decision from the management of crewing companies. Such commissions assess the applicant’s competence at the international level, as he must work on ships of the world fleet. Therefore, among the tasks facing higher maritime education, one of the main is the formation of key competencies, the degree of formation of which is assessed at the international level. Over the last 5–6 years, Kherson State Maritime Academy has radically changed the training programs for maritime professionals, implementing a competency-based approach to training. The program of “Information Technologies” course, which is studied by 1st-year cadets, contains “Information Technologies in Navigation” module, which examines the algorithms and methods of solving professionally-oriented problems. The specificity of such tasks involves the use of simulation methods, algorithmization, the ability to use modern computer programs. This content of the course contributes to improving the quality of training of future ship navigators, and implementing the focus of this course on their professional activities. In other words, we begin to form both subject and universal professionally-oriented competencies. This article proposes methodological techniques for the formation of subject professionally oriented competencies of future ship navigators. These techniques are shown on the example of solving an applied problem using an information-modeling approach to the analysis and risk assessment of a ship operating in conditions of changing or unpredictable external influences. These influences are one of the factors that can lead to emergencies.
