Ship and Engine Resource Management JNE234
Introduction
Engine Resource Management (ERM) was introduced by the STCW 2010 Manila amendments, to address a long felt need in the marine engineering curriculum. Over the years the role of the operational engineer in the engine room changed substantially. The advancement in technology led to more reliable yet sophisticated equipment and plant in the engine room which subsequently resulted in reducing the number of engineer officers and crew. The new developments of material used in moving parts increased the time between overhauls and made the role of marine engineer, more an operational one than repair and maintenance. In this back drop it is important how a marine engineer utilised his available resources to the maximum in daily operations and in emergency situations. This unit provides the operational engineer with management skills needed to harness and control the resources at hand to keep a watch safely and efficiently. This unit meet the requirements for knowledge, understanding and proficiency set out by the current Maritime Training Package, the STCW 2010 (Manila Amendments) and Table A-III/1 of the STCW code.
