If the supertanker were to be redesigned to prevent this kind of accidents, it would have been designed with the resilience-oriented features as follows:
Use terms in the language of the
operators, so that they understand your concepts and follow your
procedures (
reference to guide ...)
The
specification document would include a definition of the operational
scenarios and
situations, and of the expected combinations of them, defining the
design scope .
The
control of the
Primary operation mode (Navigation vs. Maintenance) may be either manual or automatic.
Make sure that the controls are
slip-proof .
The system response to changing the steering
mode to Disconnected while in Navigation
mode should depend on the entity
at the helm .
