Course Description
This three-day course of instruction is designed to provide qualified
maritime Pilots with instruction and proficiency in Emergency Shiphandling
(SHS-ESH) and Bridge Resource Management for Pilots (BRMP). The program is
American Pilots’ Association (APA) approved. It uses full-mission bridge
simulation to reflect and reinforce BRMP concepts through the simulation of
emergency exercises. Shiphandling exercises are scripted, with extensive
role-play that is designed to provide unique challenges in a BRMP
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 BRMP events are
identified and discussed. This program has no formal assessment, nor is it
designed to formally instruct Pilots in emergency shiphandling techniques or
physical shiphandling skills. The simulation exercises provide a venue for
the application of BRMP objectives and creates an active environment to
stimulate discussion of “Best Practices” during emergencies.
