Table of contents:
The first book on this required course of training written especially for officers aboard small ships.
The modern ship’s bridge boasts miraculous resources: GPS, radar, electronic charting, VHF and shortwave radio, phones, electronic sensors, autopilot, and powerful computers to integrate these inputs with visual observations so that the officers on watch can make good navigation and seamanship decisions. Yet still accidents happen, usually because of human error. That’s why Bridge Resource Management is a required program of training for watch- standing officers on ships worldwide. BRM teaches officers to integrate their resources efficiently, develop and maintain situational awareness, master passage planning and other best practices, and communicate effectively. Bridge Resource Management for Small Ships is the first book to address the unique needs of watch-standing officers and prepare them for any situation.
