Crowded Ports and Larger Ships
Whether in a crowded port or a rocky fjord, the ship's bridge team has a special responsibility — to keep the ship and its passengers safe.
Experience tells us that even the most competent mariners can make mistakes.
Accident reports call it "human error" and say that it is the cause of 80 percent of all losses.

Using an approach developed by the aviation industry, today's bridge officers are learning a new way of thinking. We call it Bridge Resource Management or, BRM for short. At MSI, Ships Officers and Harbor Pilots are combining BRM concepts such as situational awareness with the technology of Joystick Control, weather routing, ARPA and ECDIS to make cruise and ferry voyages safe and enjoyable.
MarineSafety is conducting BRM, shiphandling, and technology courses for the officers of Holland-American Line, the North Sea and Irish Ferries and major international ship managers both in the U.S. and Europe.
We stand ready to work closely with cruise lines and high-speed Ferry compa- nies to develop the very best in BRM and other training to meet newly amended national and international conventions.
