RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE MASTER/PILOT RELATIONSHIP CONCERNING THE CONDUCT OF THE VESSEL
INTRODUCTION
The duties of Master, bridge officers and pilot are set out in IMO Resolution A.960 ‘Recommendations on Training and Certification and Operational procedures for maritime pilots other than deep-sea pilots’. It is important that, upon the pilot boarding the ship and before the pilotage commences, the pilot, the master and the bridge personnel are aware of their respective roles in the safe passage of the ship.
EMPA Recommendation
Replace by IMO resolution A.960 Annex 2 Duties of Master, Bridge officers and Pilots
- Every Pilot and Master should be trained in Bridge Resource Management with an emphasis on the exchange of information that is essential to a safe transit. This training should include a requirement for the Pilot to assess particular situations and to conduct an exchange of information with the Master and/or Officer in charge of navigational watch. Maintaining an effective working relationship between the pilot and the bridge team in both routine and emergency conditions should be covered in training.
