Bridge Team Management - Level I (Collision Avoidance & Bridge TeamWork Course) |
|
| |
This course is to provide practical knowledge to new navigating watch
keeping officers on the application of Collision Avoidance Regulations,
to effectively manoeuvre the ship in heavy traffic areas and prevent
close quarter situations and collisions. The navigating officer shall also
gain confidence in keeping independent bridge watches.
Contents of the course
- Familiarization with the ship’s “Manoeuvring Data”.
- Understand the importance of calling Master, well in time.
- Importance of Look out and Safe speed.
- Conduct of vessel in heavy traffic areas, Traffic Separation Scheme, Narrow
Channels. and in restricted visibility.
- Understanding and practical application of International Regulations for
Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972.
- Good Bridge Team Management by the proper use of resources available on
the bridge, viz charts, publications, radar, ARPA, GPS, VHF, AIS, auto-pilot,
helmsman, etc.

Bridge Team Management - Level II (Management & Ship Handling) |
|
| |
A dedicated state of the art navigation simulator is used to provide cost-effective training in ship-handling and
bridge team management principles.
Two ships, complete with bridge teams, manoeuvre through some of the most congested waters of the world
applying proper passage planning techniques and team-work in real-time virtual simulation exercises. The simulation
can be connected to the ECDIS for a fully functional Electronic chart navigation.
Contents of the course
- Ship Manoeuvring Data.
- Ship Handling Principles.
- Passage Planning.
- Collision Avoidance.
- Anchoring.
- Berthing / Unberthing.
- Navigation in Pilotage Waters.
- Emergency manoeuvre.

Bridge Team Management - Level III (Navigation Emergency Management Course) |
|
| |
When a ship suffers a casualty or is in a position of peril or facing an emergency,
the Master and/or the Officers concerned must be in a position to
decide what is the best course of action. During an emergency, there may
be little time to make decisions and the officer has to have a good presence
of mind to take these decisions. He also will have the company’s contingency
plans to his disposal, which will help him take the decisions.
During navigation various types of emergencies could occur, namely steering
failure, engine failure, failure of navigational aids, failure of radar, blackout,
groundings, collisions etc.
This course conducted on a Full Mission
Simulator depicting real life-like situation,
is an effective learning tool for officers to
gain confidence in handling emergency
situations and their ability to take decisions
under stressful situations.
Contents of the course
- Introduction to emergencies.
- Handling various emergencies.
- Actions after an accident.
- Bridge manoeuvring console - Engine Parameters.
- Human factors and leadership in emergencies.
