Learning Outcomes

Participants will develop a deep understanding of Bridge Team Management (BTM) principles and their critical role in maritime safety. The course equips learners with skills to enhance communication, decision-making, and teamwork among bridge crew members. Participants will also learn to evaluate team performance, identify areas for improvement, and implement effective strategies to reduce navigational risks. By course completion, learners will be ready to foster a culture of collaboration and operational excellence on the bridge.

Focus Points

The course explores essential BTM concepts, such as leadership, effective communication, situational awareness, and decision-making. Key modules focus on role allocation, stress management, and conflict resolution within bridge teams. Participants will also learn performance evaluation techniques and tools to assess compliance with International Maritime Organization (IMO) standards. Interactive case studies and simulations provide practical insights into managing critical situations and enhancing bridge safety culture.

Participants

This course is tailored for deck officers, ship masters, maritime managers, and safety personnel seeking to improve bridge operations. It is also beneficial for crew members aspiring to take on leadership roles. A basic understanding of ship navigation and bridge operations is recommended, though the course includes foundational content for beginners. Participants should be prepared to engage in practical scenarios and performance evaluation exercises.
