Reduced Crewing – Basic Considerations

• The crew size has an impact on life cycle cost

• Acquiring resources is difficult, as Navies are in competition

with industry sector or other consumers.

• Navy needs to be an attractive employer.

• Crew accommodation to RCN standard requires space on board

Keep crew to a necessary level to avoid an exhausted crew

during operations.

Outfitting – RAS Stations

• Reduce manning at stations as much as possible

Introduce a Transportation concept

• Transport routes

Use Transportation forklift devices for provisions and material

• Efficient Warehousing

Elevators close to the RAS area.

Reduced Crewing – Conclusion

1. Providing a design to minimize the crew size must be

an essential design driver.

2. Establish concepts for reduction through all WBS

major groups.

3. In the design of the ship, consider the placement of equipment

and systems within compartments that lead to efficient

operations including ship‘s husbandry and maintenance.

4. Consider design impact of a reduced crew with respect to

maintenance concept.
