For a passenger ship, the operating context is continuously changing with the operation and the location of the ship. The environmental conditions, such as wind, visibility, waves, and current will change frequently. Depending on where the ship is traveling, more or less extreme environmental conditions may occur. It may also be exposed to subzero temperatures, causing icing, and may meet icebergs or icefloes. Further, when navigating close to shore, the ship has to avoid shallow waters where it can ground. A completely different operating context is when the ship is in port, loading and unloading passengers and cargo. When designing the ship, all the extremes of the operating context have to be considered, but in operation, the context will vary from hour to hour (or even more quickly) and operation has to continuously adapt to these variations.

In military applications, the concept of operations (CONOPS) document describes the operating context of the item.
