Engine Room Team Management (ERTM)
Purpose and goals
The course is designed to cut the number of incidents and accidents plus the ship’s downtime by addressing potential human errors as well as watch keeping arrangements and procedures.
With focus on the human factor the purpose is to reduce the number of errors and the consequences of the errors that are made anyhow. The participants are provided with tools to improve teamwork, communication, management, decision-making and resource management. The participants will learn to understand how these ERTM skills contribute to redundancy and increased safety.
The course provides understanding and training of the Engine Room Team Management concept.
Target Group
The course is intended for engineers employed in shipping or off-shore companies.
Content
Human factors and how the ships safe and efficient operation is effected by the individual behaviour and the interaction in the team are addressed through theory classes and practical cases.
Training is provided within:
-

Additional remarks
The course is conducted as interplay between theoretical presentations and supervised training in a Full Mission Bridge Simulator.
The simulators at SIMAC are capable of simulating the total shipboard operation situation. The specific exercises, scenarios and the configuration of simulators are adjusted according to the service experience of the participants.
Each course normally consists of 6 engineers put together to make up two teams with one Chief-Engineer each.
The course meets the STCW v. 2011 code section A-III/1 and A-III/2.
A Certificate of Achievement will be awarded on satisfactory completion of the course.
