Bridge Resource Management

Master/Pilot Relationship

The passage undertaken by a vessel under pilotage should be one in which safety is enhanced through the presence onboard of an experienced local pilot. However, safe pilotage requires a good working relationship and effective communication between the pilot, Master and the entire bridge team. If this relationship fails, there may be disastrous consequences. This programme shows how a situation can rapidly deteriorate, and how that can be avoided through training and application.
