Abstract
The STCW Code 1995, in Table A-II/2, requires that Master and chief mates have knowledge and understanding of, and proficiency in, effective bridge teamwork procedures. One of the ways in which the must demonstrate competence is through approved simulator training, where appropriate. In Part B, section B-VIII/2, Parts 3-1-4, 5, The code speaks to Bridge Resource Management and states, “Company should also issue guidance to masters and officers in charge of the navigational watch on each ship concerning the need for continuously reassessing how bridge-watch-resources are being allocated and used, based on bridge resource management principles…” It has been made the participants familiarized and understood about bridge team work proceeding, it is very useful for future regarding each regular job and as a navigator. The International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea 1972 (COLREGS) are published by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), and set out the "rules of the road" to be followed by ships and other vessels at sea. COLREGS can also refer to the specific political line that divides inland waterways (subject to one set of navigation rules) and coastal waterways (subject to international navigation rules).
Marine Technical College, there were experienced instructors that supervised and conducted the class to the JICA Maritime Education advanced of Information Technology (Navigation) Training participants who are from Indonesia, Philippines, Sri Lanka and Vietnam also practical as well.. Captain Akira HIROSHAWA and his team (Mr. Masuda, Mr. Iwasaki and Ms. Shinagawa) have taught all about BRM and Ship Handling such as introduction, basic knowledge sounding for participant, how to handle PCC and VLCC in some environment and off course teamwork on bridge. All participants have had the opportunity understood and made in practice all what was the professors explained. This BRM training were built a shared mental model of the situation and monitor progress of the transit by cross checking and also understood about the most important things regarding bridge teamwork are communication with each other team members and to others such as other vessel, traffic information service, pilot station and port authority radio, speak up but never shout out. This report summary presented about introduction the BRM and Ship Handling Simulator Training, facilities during the simulation training, how to train with hardware in simulator room using real equipments and all instruments, LONT (Line Oriented Navigation Training), the evaluation of training and the last one is conclusion.
Introduction
As vessels become larger, the human, material and environmental damage by one marine casualty comes more serious. In difficult maneuvering conditions, such as traffic route, restricted visibility area, advanced and adequate maneuver is always required to ship operators. Bridge Team is constructed on the purpose to prevent marine casualty in these difficult navigational conditions. It is expected for Bridge team to show the higher ability than not only the ability of each operator, but also the sum of each member’s ability by cooperating each other.
Facilities
Ship handling simulator room look like originally bridge which used on board ship. Very good view screen 180 degrees viewer with 3D environment, RADAR/ARPA, ECDIS, Echo Sounder and other bridge equipment for maneuver.
How to train with a hardwarePractice for PCC and VLCC Ship handling with large change of course, Slaloming in and out of 10 VLCCs, departing from RAS TANURA and coasting off NOJIMA SAKI, each participant has 15 minutes for each role.
LONT
(line Oriented Navigation Training)
The LONT (Line Oriented Navigation Training) was the use of instruments isolated. The knowledge about features of all facilities in ship handling (bridge) simulator, the regulation that gave the scale of application of these equipment and the integration of all equipments to manage the navigation safely in all areas by several sea and weather conditions.
Evaluation
The evaluation for simulation training was varied condition and situation. The participants had each role assignment as Captain, second officer, third officer and also helms man, 60 minutes for each role. Before starting simulation, each participant who has role as captain had to conduct a briefing session and the end after simulation finished helms man conducted a debriefing. The visualization of simulation training using big screen viewer and could broadcast 3D object with high resolution and definition displayed gave all participants interested think to integrated with objects and environment.
Conclusion
The BRM simulation training conclusion are about the most important thing in bridge teamwork, communication between bridge team member, “speak up but don’t shout out” and communication between ship and other such as other ship, port authority, traffic information service, pilot station and radio station. The overall objective of this simulation training is to enhance the navigational safety according to The International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea 1972 (COLREGS) which is published by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), and set out the "rules of the road" to be followed by ships and other vessels at sea.
