Human Factors at the Helm

Published by the Nautical Institute, this is the first volume in a two-part series examining bridge resource management from the perspective of the people who make it work. Rather than focusing purely on procedure, the book looks closely at situational awareness, team dynamics, communication across cultures, leadership and authority, and workload management on the bridge.

It is written for officers, masters and maritime trainers who want a deeper understanding of how human behaviour affects safety at sea, exploring how well-functioning teams perform at their best while staying alert to the vulnerabilities that come with being human.

A useful addition for anyone involved in bridge operations, ship management or maritime training who wants to strengthen the human side of safe navigation.
