In this paper, we argue that Distributed Situation Awareness (DSA) is an important construct in pilotage as the information required to carry out operations is distributed between agents and artefacts. We identify the central themes from the theory of DSA which are useful in describing modern day complex socio-technical systems. Further, based on the central themes, we propose guidelines for evaluating bridge teams involved in pilotage operations.}, doi = {10.12716/1001.11.02.11}, issn = {2083-6473}, publisher = {Gdynia Maritime University, Faculty of Navigation}, keywords = {Safety at Sea, Automatic Identification System (AIS), Situation Awareness (SA), Distributed Situation Awareness (DSA), European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA), Piloting Vessels, Captain-Pilot Interaction, Pilotage Operations} }
