“Safe Ship Operation” Support from Basics to Practical Operation

“Blue Peter” is the nickname for the International Signal Flag for “P”. This refers to the return of all crew members to the ship when the captain wants to leave port. In this document, this phrase refers to the desire for “all marine technicians to ‘return’ to Marine Technical College to prepare for the ‘voyage’ on his/her career path.”

Engine Room Team Management (ETM) Training

ETM training is based on the safe and efficient operation of a ship and the prevention of accidents. Skill improvement is not the only issue. The objective is to improve team performance in error management, striving to minimize errors as a team by understanding behavior traits of human. While being conscious of shared team awareness, each member participates in the training as a leader or follower. The team will deliberate final decisions and its process. The ultimate objective is to change the awareness of team members.

【Fostering Team Consciousness】

The necessity and objective of ETM training are explained along with lectures on ergonomic issues. The course comprises of team training based on fostering team awareness (ETM mind). The following courses can be selected or mixed for team training.

There has been no end to vessel accidents where 70% to 80% of accidents at sea are caused by human error. To avoid these types of accidents, practicing with the Bridge Resource Management (BRM) system is essential. Its effectiveness in training is well known.

Marine Technical College conducts educational/training follow ups using a video produced in 2004, "BRM-For Further Safe Ship Operation", and a DVD produced in February 2008, "BRM for One-man watch-Breaking the Chain of Errors".

Various information will be shared with maritime companies to ensure safe ship operation and instruct better awareness.

GMDSS Simulator

This simulator is used to increase the skills required to handle equipment and provide training in communications. The simulator can also be used for various courses, i.e. "Third Grade Marine Radio Communication Certification Training", "Ship Station Radio Personnel Certification Training", etc. and pre-training on land.

International Cooperation
