General description
While ship maneuvering can be considered in principle to be an art rather than a science, the Master who knows a little bit about science, will be better at developing your art of maneuvering the ship. Knowledge of science will enable you to more easily identify the ship's maneuvering characteristics and a quick assessment of the skill needed for your control. A Master needs to understand what's going on his ship and most importantly, what will happen in a short period of future time. For this reason, the main objective of this course is knowledge of science as regards the manoeuvre of ships, with particular emphasis on the management-level competences to be cherested by a Captain in accordance with the STCW Convention.
In case of students who are not in possession of the Degree in Nautical and Maritime Transport and who, therefore, the Master's degree does not enable it professionally, the teacher will be able to adapt the subject to the needs of the student.
