ENGINE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

As an engine room team member you have a vital role. You have to combine an understanding of the ship’s machinery with an awareness of company procedure, while all the time maintaining high safety standards.
In engine room watchkeeping, there is also another factor - teamwork. It is crucial both deck and engineering personnel bear in mind they are part of one team, not just within their own department but with each other. For example, now the majority of main propulsion plants are directly controlled from the bridge, this has brought the deck and engineering departments closer together.

During this course, you will gain an understanding of Engine Room Resource Management, with a focus on the roles and responsibilities of the Duty Engineer. You will also explore the elements of situational awareness, leadership with communication and how to act during emergencies/drills, as well as gain an understanding of error chains.
