The subjects related to the Ship Handling make up a block of essential and exclusive knowledge in the training of a Professional Sailor. It can be said that a trained and experienced Marine is the only person able to predict all the inputs and outputs in the design and development of the Maneuver of a ship.
On the other hand, the consequences of a bad decision when executing a Maneuver can be serious and even catastrophic: strandings, collisions, sinking allisions, fires and explosions. An error will involve at least damage to the ship and its economic consequences: costs, P&I, delays, arrests, etc.
In all of the above lies the importance of their training.
Integrated in the Degree, this subject " Ship Handling I" comprises the basic knowledge of Maneuver, which will be reviewed in more depth in the 3rd year subject " Ship Handling II".
In the development of the subject will take into account:
STCW 1978, and the 2010 Manila Amendments
IMO Model Course 7.03. Officer in Charge of a Navigational Watch
IMO Model Course 1.22 Ship Simulator and Bridge Teamwork.
