Bridge Resource Management, Volume 2: Voyage planning

Voyage planning is a cornerstone of safe navigation and good bridge resource management (BRM).

This volume explores all aspects of preparing and executing a plan – one that considers all known information, establishes margins of safety, and defines clear operational limits that allow for timely interventions.

This guide illustrates that good voyage planning and effective BRM avoids single-person failures when the bridge team anticipate, mitigate, challenge, react and respond, promoting the working together of human and technical resources in harmony.
