More mobile telephone problems in Norway
More vessel operation problems have been reported in
Norway involving mobile telephones. The ferry “Sekkelsfjord”
almost encountered serious problems recently approaching a
port after the controllable-pitch propellers failed to respond to
bridge commands.
A crew member noticed that four truck drivers aboard the ferry
were using mobile telephones and after they were asked to
stop using them, the propellers began responding again. Other
reported problems involve the opening of bow visors and false
fire alarms.

 BRIDGE TEAM MANAGEMENT

“No officer, whatever his rank and

experience, should flatter himself that
he is immune to the inexplicable lapses
of judgement, calculation and memory,
or slips of the tongue in giving orders,
which have so often brought disaster to
men of the highest reputation and
ability”
Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz

 BRIDGE TEAM MANAGEMENT
Course Objectives
 To formulate bridge teams, making full use of all the competencies
available

 To recognise the threat potential of a situation and make decisions which

maintain the safety of the ship

 To ensure that all members of the watch are aware of their duties and
responsibilities

 To support and monitor a pilot

 To monitor the ship’s progress and maintain an agreed passage plan

 To recognise the need to make contingency plans in areas of high risk

 To recognise the development of an error chain and effectively break

such a chain

 To interpret and make efficient use of ship’s manoeuvring data

emergency situations 9
 BRIDGE TEAM MANAGEMENT
Course Structure
All the objectives will be achieved through a series of
simulator exercises supplemented by lectures, films and
discussion. Each simulator exercise period will consist of:

 A planning session of 1 to 2 hours duration.

 A simulator exercise lasting up to 2 hours.
 A team de-brief lasting up to 1 hour.

Officers will also participate in group casualty assessment

sessions. During these sessions the team will analyse
recent casualties, identify the development of “error
chains” and be invited to make their own comments.
