Module Aims & Context (suggested)<\/h3>\n

The module 4207NAU \u2014 Navigation, Regulations & Bridge Resource Management<\/strong> seeks to develop students\u2019 advanced competence in route planning, understanding and applying relevant navigation regulations (e.g. COLREGs, pilotage, port rules), and bridge resource management (BRM) practices. The module emphasizes bridging theoretical knowledge and real-world navigation tasks via scenario-based assessment.<\/p>\n

This assessment is intended to give students a realistic, integrative task similar to those used in the maritime industry and within maritime training institutions, assessing chart work, navigational computation, hazard analysis, decision-making, and operational briefing skills.<\/p>\n

\n

Learning Outcomes (aligned \/ plausible for 4207NAU)<\/h3>\n

On successful completion, students should be able to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Produce a safe, practical berth-to-berth passage plan using chart and electronic navigation tools, accounting for tides, currents, under-keel clearance, and pilotage constraints.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Perform essential navigational computations (e.g. tidal offsets, ETA calculations, distance\/speed\/time, UKC) with clarity, justification, and correctness.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Identify and evaluate navigational hazards, perform a structured risk assessment, and propose mitigation and contingency measures.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Demonstrate understanding and application of Bridge Resource Management (BRM) principles: roles, communications, escalation, monitoring, and decision protocols.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  5. \n

    Prepare and present a professional operational briefing (slides + narrative) to the Master and bridge team reflecting navigational intent, contingency planning, and regulatory compliance.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  6. \n

    Justify navigation and operational decisions by referencing applicable regulations (COLREGs, SOLAS, port rules, pilotage) and relevant theory.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \n
