Bridge, Navigation & Deck Operations

BRM & Shiphandling Senior Officers

Command-level heavy weather planning and decision-making: routing strategy, risk trade-offs, stability/structural considerations, and bridge team execution. Focus on when to alter course/speed, how to brief the bridge team, and how to maintain safe margins under operational pressure.

BRM & Shiphandling Junior Officers

Practical watchkeeping routines and bridge teamwork skills for safe execution: situational awareness, clear communications, read-back, and early escalation. Focus on avoiding common OOW mistakes and building confident shiphandling support under supervision.
