Scope and Application
Purpose ^
To provide masters and navigating officers 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.
Scope ^
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 suggests that shipping
companies take initiative in implementing Bridge Resource Management (BRM)
concept on their vessels.
Effective Date ^
The training program outlined in this Transport Canada, Marine Safety
Publication (TP 13117) received approval from the Canadian Marine Advisory
Council at its meeting in November, 1997 for immediate effect with a
provision that for the time being the requirement for successful
completion of the BRM Course be non-mandatory.
Authority ^
There are no regulatory requirements at present. The authority
therefore derives from the STCW 95 amendment to the STCW 78 convention
relating to the non-mandatory use of Bridge Resource Management principles
as stated in Chapter VIII, Part 3-1 of Code B
Document Replaced ^
Replaces original version of 1997.
Learning objectives in this training course will supplement and not
replace any standing orders issued by the shipping company or the master
or any national or local instructions or guidance. In any instance where
the contents of this course are at variance with such orders or
instructions, the latter shall be followed.
