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.
