Course Title                Radar, ARPA, Bridge Team Work and Search and Rescue

Language                    English, German
Scope                       The course is essentially practical and consits of a series of exercises performed on
                            a radar simulator with two ore more own-ships and a number of others controlled
                            by the instructor. Each exdercise will involve observing the movement of ships seen
                            on the RADAR, recognizing those presenting a threat of collision and taking action
                            to avoid collisions. Trainees will act either as Master or as an observing officer for the
                            exercises, and will change roles to allow each to turn in command of the ship.
Objectives                  Those successfully completing this course will be able to make efficient and effective
                            use of radar as a navigational aid in congested, confined waters, recognize potential
                            threats and make valid navigational and collision-avoidance decisions based on sound
                            radar observation and plotting in compliance with COLREG. They will be aware of the
                            time needed to appreciate that a dangerous situation is developing, to decide upon
                            and take appropriate action, and to ascertain that such action is adequate and does
                            not give rise to further conflicts with other vessels. They will also realize that excessive
                            speed in poor visibility reduces the time available to assess a threat and to take
                            appropriate action. Ability to plan, organise and manage a bridge team, making use
                            of all navigational data, will also be achieved. Successfully completion of this course
                            will also provide ability to respond to, co-ordinate and execute a search and rescue
                            operation.
Entry Standards             Those wishing to enter this course should be holders of certificates as officer in charge
