Maritime Crew Resource Management
Maritime Crew Resource Management
Course Description
This 4-day course is oriented towards increasing safety awareness through training directed towards behavioral and attitude change in relation to bridge and engine room team management capabilities in a maritime environment. The modules are designed to raise awareness of human issues, promote safe behavioral in the bridge, engine room and elsewhere onboard, and reduce human errors that are believed to be a major reason for maritime accidents. Errors and hazardous behavior-such as preoccupation with technical problems, failure to delegate tasks and responsibilities, failure to set priorities, inadequate monitoring, failure to use available data, failure to communicate intent and plans, and failure to detect and challenge deviations from standard operating procedures are analyzed in a group atmosphere with an MCRM perspective.
