Maritime training can improve safety by equipping seafarers with the knowledge and skills to manage
risk. However, designing a quality training program can be challenging and stress can negatively impact
performance and safety. To address this, the present study aims to investigate the relationship between stress
and training outcomes, with the goal of developing more effective stress-based training systems. Two stressful
scenarios were designed with varying safety factors involved during navigation tasks. The study examines
the impact of stress levels on training outcomes and performance based on safety factors and the correlation
between self-assessed stress levels and objective stress levels obtained from biosignal data. The study was
conducted in a simulated bridge environment in Tromsø, Norway, and analyzed using statistical tests and
machine learning models. The findings of this study indicate that training scenarios can be classified by stress
levels, which were found to be associated with reduced visibility, equipment failures, and severe weather
conditions. Additionally, the study revealed that stress levels can negatively impact performance in maritime
navigation and sailing route reliability. These findings provide insights into how to improve the quality and
effectiveness of maritime training programs and ultimately enhance safety at sea.
