Title ÕK-1221 HSC rating and BRM
1 Purpose
1.1 To provide masters, navigating officers and watch engineers forming part of bridge team
as well for pilots awareness and guidance to good operating practices by regular use of
sound and proper procedures to ensure the safety of the ship, its personnel, cargo and
protection of the environment.
1.2 To provide masters, navigating officers and watch engineers forming part of bridge team
necessary type rating training in accordance to requirements of HSC Code Ch. 18 Reg.
18.3 in subject areas as applicable.
2 Scope
2.1 Compliance with the Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and
Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978 as amended in 1995 (STCW) which provides in
Chapter VIII, Part 3-1 of the non-mandatory ―Code B‖ guidance on keeping a
navigational watch and Chapter VIII and part 3-2 guidance on „Principles to be
observed in keeping an engineering watch‖. ―Code B‖ suggests that shipping companies
take initiative in implementing Bridge Resource Management (BRM) concept on their
vessels.
2.2 Compliance to HSC Code Ch. 18 Reg. 18.3 to provide to masters, navigating officers
and watch engineers forming part of bridge team necessary type rating training.
2.3 This course is practical and theoretical and consists of a series of exercises performed
on a ship handling simulator. Classroom lectures, to provide the necessary theoretical
background for the exercises, are included. Particular items dealt within these lectures
are illustrated either by including them as part of an exercise or by a separate simulator
demonstration. Bridge teamwork is dealt with interactive Computer Based Training
(CBT), lecture and exercises on simulator.
2.4 Exercises are controlled by an instructor and, initially, allow the trainees to become
familiar with the equipment, the controls and the instrumentation provided by the
simulator.
2.5 The exercises increase in complexity as the course progresses and as trainees become
familiar with the maneuvering characteristics of the ship model and its response to the
engine and helm in various conditions. The final exercises deal with the planning and
execution of a coastal passage from port to port, under normal and emergency
conditions and will make use of the knowledge and skills learned in all of the previous

exercises. Equipment as well engine failure or malfunction will be introduced during the
later exercises to afford trainees practice in taking emergency preventive action and to
practice on bridge teamwork in critical situations.
2.6 During exercises, trainees are expected to make use of effective bridge procedures, to
comply with International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 (COLREG
1972) and to observe the basic principles of keeping a navigational watch, as set out in
regulation Vlll/2, section A-VllI/2 and B-Vlll/2 of the STCW 95 Convention and Code.
They will assume the different roles of the bridge watchkeeping team, the roles being
rotated to allow each trainee an opportunity to act as master for some of the exercises.
Also chief engineer will participate in exercise as responding to engine and engine
systems malfunctions.
2.7 Each exercise will be preceded by a session for briefing and planning and be followed
by a debriefing.
2.8 Great portion of training, particularly in respect of BRM will be carried with help of CBT.
3 Duration of the course
3.1 Duration of the course has been established as 40 hours for navigators and 36 hour for
engineers (4-5 days) what can be changed taken in to account trainees previous
knowledge and experience, for those who have not passed BRM training.
3.2 For periodical refresher training purposes duration of the course may be reduced up to
28 hours (3 days), provided that attendee has participated on the course with similar
content and had a possibility of practical implementation of knowledge received during
previous training course. Course instructor is authorized to decide duration of the
refresher course within limits as above.
3.3 Without BRM & ERM module the duration of the course is 20 hours
4 Objective of the course
4.1 The trainees who successfully complete this course will have developed experience in
handling ships under various conditions and will make a more effective contribution to
the bridge team during ship maneuvering in normal and emergency situations. Important
part of the course is familiarization of trainees with International and national rules and
regulations related to bridge watch keeping, bridge teamwork, reacting to emergency
situations on High Speed Crafts.
4.2 In particular, trainees will gain:
4.2.1 familiarization with the use of engines and helm for ship maneuvering

need for an alternative plan
4.2.4 a greater understanding and awareness of efficient bridge procedures and bridge
teamwork during watchkeeping and ship handling, in normal and in emergency
situations
4.2.5 a greater awareness and understanding of a good interactive communication style
and benefit of building up a common shared mental model of the planned passage
4.2.6 familiarization with rules and regulations and application of these in daily operation of
the HSC and possible emergency situations

13 Teaching facilities and equipment
13.1 This course is carried out using specially designed model of High Speed Craft
navigation bridge and using simulator software designed by Poseidon Simulation AS
(Norway) with two own ships operating in one environment. One of these with fully
equipped bridge, including instruments showing course, speed, rudder angle, rate of
turn, engine RPM and propeller pitch and relative wind direction and speed. The model
used is HSC catamaran. The model generates realistic responses to the use of engine
and rudder under various conditions. The simulator have a 120 degree (allows to
observe 360 degree) visual system capable of handling a number of ships in addition to
land masses. The simulator generates realistic radar signals, AIS signals and echo
soundings, simulates and emulates navigation receivers providing two alternative means
of fixing position. Several types of real equipment are integrated into the simulator
(DGPS receiver, AIS receiver, engine, bow thruster, rudder and autopilot control, wind,
speed, ROT, rudder angle, engine revolution indicators etc.).
13.2 Maneuvering information, in the form set out in IMO Assembly resolution A.601 (15),
is provided for the model in use. The bridge is equipped with a simulated EPIRB, SART,
VHF, MF/HF, INMARSAT A, B and C, NAVTEX, connected to the instructor station, for
communicating with pilot stations, VTS, port services and other ships during exercises.
The instructor or other simulated ship act as the other stations in answering or initiating
calls. Similarly, an internal telephone/radio telephone to the engine room is connected to
the instructor station.
13.3 Means of producing the sound signals required by COLREG 1972 are provided for
other ships in the vicinity as well as for own ship.
