Course Description

This course forms part of the proposed Modular Framework for vocational and professional qualifications based on a degree program in Nautical Sciences. The Program gives students an in-depth expertise of; establishing of a bridge team, planning of a passage and managing a naval vessel as a oceangoing officer of the watch (OOW) and  ultimately as the captain of the vessel. The emphasis is upon bridge team establishment and management and especially on safe navigation for Oceangoing Officers /Maritime Transportation and Management Engineering.

Course Objectives

1.To explain guidelines for the composition and management of the bridge team,

2.To introduce students the duties and responsibilities of the officer of the watch and crew of the bridge team,

3.To develop an understanding on general rules and regulations about watchkeeping under normal and different conditions and in different areas,

4.To give an idea about familiarization with bridge equipment and regular and emergency checklists directly related to the ship,

5.To give knowledge about the reasons of error chains,

6.To introduce the duties and responsibilities regarding to passage planning,

7.To give an idea about emergencies and contingency plans,

8.To develop an understanding on international rules, regulations and responsibilities about pollution prevention at sea.

9. To give leadership and team work abilities.

Course Learning Outcomes

1.Learning Bridge team composition and bridge management procedures and principles.

2.Learning Watchkeeping arrangements, OOW duties and responsibilities, Passage Planning and general principles of watchkeeping.

3. Learning Procedures to be followed during emergencies.

4. Learning International rules, regulations and responsibilities about pollution prevention at sea.

5. Learning leadership and team work abilities
