Effective organisationPreparing a passage plan and carrying out the voyage necessitates that bridge resources are appropriately allocated according to the demands of the different phases of the voyage. Depending upon the level of activity likely to be experienced, equipment availability, and the time it will take should the ship deviate from her track before entering shallow water, the master may need to ensure the availability of an adequately rested officer as back-up for the navigational watch. Where equipment is concerned, errors can occur for a variety of reasons and poor equipment calibration may be significant. In the case of integrated systems, it is possible that the failure of one component could have unpredictable consequences for the system as a whole. It is therefore essential that navigational information is always cross checked, and where there is doubt concerning the ship's position, it is always prudent to assume a position that is closest to danger and proceed accordingly. Motivation Motivation comes from within and cannot be imposed. It is however the responsibility of the master to create the conditions in which motivation is encouraged. A valuable asset in any organisation is teamwork and this is enhanced by recognising the strengths, limitations and competence of the people within a team, and organising the work of the bridge team to take best advantage of the attributes of each team member. Working in isolation when carrying out critical operations carries the risk of an error going undetected. Working together and sharing information in a professional way enhances the bridge team and the master/pilot relationship. Training in bridge resource management can further support this.
