SUGGESTED METHODS
Instructor
• Prepare various scenarios, indicating type of
emergency, type of ship, its position in the
marine district and navigating conditions.
• In simulation, it is possible to create, for
example, navigation scenarios where the
logical and safe manoeuvre is deviation
from course into secondary fairway.
• Record candidates’ exercises while in the
simulator.
• View exercises, evaluate candidates’
behaviour in terms of self-control and
objectivity of decisions.
• Ask candidates to justify decisions. They
should be able to do so on the basis of local
knowledge, ship’s behaviour, and situations
presented in scenarios. This justification
exercise will prepare them for certification
examinations.
• Encourage discussion for the main purpose
of self-criticism and, if necessary, to bring
the group closer together.
