Engine Room Resource Management

Course Description

The main tenets of resource management relate to the non-technical skills associated with the social interaction between team members, situation awareness and the decision-making. This is a high fidelity, complex, simulated working environment. The course covers:

• The systems approach
• Safety of Operations
• Environmental issues
• Co-operation and Teamwork
• Situational Awareness Management
• Decision-making
• Human Factors and Human Error
• Crisis Managements and Human Behaviour
• Leadership and Workload Management
• Risk Assessment and Risk Management
• Identification of and breaking error chains
• Efficient use of resources and delegation
• Communications
• Planning and Prioritising
• Identification of cause of problem and timely correct response
• Methodical and logical approach to fault diagnosis and problem solving
• Identification and justification of "assumptions"
• Emergency Preparedness
• Contingency Planning

Note: In May 2005, the IMO Maritime Safety Committee approved STCW.6/Circ.7 on Amendments to part B of the STCW Code, to provide guidance on engine-room resource management. The learning objectives of the Engine Room Resource Management course delivered at WMA cover all of the requirements of STCW amendments. The course syllabus/material is relevant, current and appropriate and reflects industry best practice.

The course works best with a team of varied ranks and we recommend a complete engine room team of Chief Engineer, First/Second Engineer, Second/Third Engineer and Third/Fourth Engineer. The course can accommodate a maximum of four officers and a minimum of three officers.
