"Bridge Resource Management" is a mechanism whereby the Ships management company sends the Master to train for a week, gives him a copy of the UK Chamber of Shipping Guide and then reduces his Bridge Officers by one. This trains the Master to send the Bosun and Cook down Aft to tie-up or let-go. And when the inevitable happens the poor old Ukrainian Master is hung out to dry.
Believe me it's every man for himself on the high seas.
