Year: 19xx Language: english Author: Unknown Format: PDF Quality: OCR with errors Pages count: 83 Description: The aim of the prudent mariner is to ensure that their ship reaches its destination safely and efficiently. To do this consistently demands a level of skill which is not easy to quantify but which needs to become part of the maritime culture, for there are about 80,000 ships trading internationally, each one sharing this common objective. Like all knowledge-based skills, bridge watchkeeping and navigation require practice, support and reaffirmation. Left unattended they can become casual. The actions taken on the bridge may be uncritical and the interchange of information between the Master and the watchkeeping officers lapses into a working relationship where assumptions are made without being verified. When bridge operations are loosely organized the impression can be given that things will be all right. However, when the unexpected occurs, confusion arises. It becomes more difficult to make decisions and the possibility exists for an error of judgement, which might lead to an accident. An accident by its nature is unexpected, but most accidents occur because there is no system in operation to detect and consequently prevent one person making a mistake-a mistake of the type all human beings are liable to make. This book on bridge team management addresses this issue by explaining how to prepare for safe well-planned navigation, which is directed by the Master, officers and crew in such a way that the ship is always conducted under positive control, supported by the pilot when one is taken.
