Course Description
This three-day course of instruction is designed to provide qualified tugboat Captains and Mates with instruction and proficiency in Emergency Tugboat Handling and Bridge Resource Management for Tugboat Operators. The program uses full-mission bridge simulation to reflect and reinforce BRM concepts through the simulation of emergency exercises. Shiphandling exercises are scripted, with extensive role-play that is designed to provide unique challenges in a BRM environment. Constructive post-simulation debriefs are led by the students, with guidance and facilitation by the instructor, to ensure that both the review of the shipboard emergency simulation events and the BRM events are identified and discussed.
The simulation exercises provide a venue for the application of BRM objectives and creates an active environment to stimulate discussion of “Best Practices” during emergencies.
