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.
