Bridge Resource Management
(BRM) is a team approach, where all available materials and human resources are used to achieve safe operation. Bridge team members are trained to be aware of their responsibility, prepared to recognise workload demands and other risk factors, and able to handle any situation.
Weakness in bridge organisation and management has been cited as a major cause of marine casualties around the world. BRM reduces that risk by helping a ship’s crew anticipate and correctly respond to the changing situation of their ship.
When BRM is practised correctly onboard, the result should be a bridge team that:
Maintains its situational awareness Continually monitors the progress of the vessel, making proper adjustments and corrections as necessary, to maintain a safe passage
Acquires relevant information early Appropriately delegates workload and authority
Anticipates dangerous situations
Avoids becoming pre-occupied with minor technical problems and losing sight of the big picture
Undertakes appropriate contingency plans when called for
Recognises the development of an error chain
Takes appropriate action to break the error-chain sequence.

STCW 2010 Amendments:-
Major revisions to the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (the STCW Convention), and its associated Code were adopted at a Diplomatic Conference in Manila, the Philippines, on 21–25 June 2010. The amendments, to be known as “The Manila amendments to the STCW Convention and Code” entered into force on 1 January 2012 with full compliance by 1 January 2017. Amongst the amendments adopted, there are a number of important changes to the Convention and Code. The sections of the STCW Manila Amendments that contain requirements related to non-technical skills are:
- Reg. A-II/1 for Bridge Resource Management
- Reg. A-III/1 for Engine-room Resource Management
