Abstract: Research of the Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) is conducted in various places in the world. Understanding the site of the ship that sails on the sea is important for the mariner who manages and operates the MASS. Moreover, the mariner is required to respond according to a situation. To master these aspects, deep and active education and training are required. The proposed GTGP (Groupwork-Training-Groupwork-Presentation) training model is effective and using this training students can think deeply and actively. Because of conducting anchoring training according to the GTGP training model, the effect of the model on students and instructors can be shown via the following comments:
(1) Students can think more deeply by conducting dialog, discussion, and peer-learning in a group.
(2) At briefing, adequate understanding is required for the role of a captain and is effective in arranging and
fixing of knowledge.
(3) Actual ship training is optimal to learn the site of sailing at sea.
(4) Debriefing in a group is the most effective in improving knowledge and technology.
(5) A presentation becomes the arrangement of knowledge and the origin of many notices
