C. Selecting course of action
• States obligation to identify most
appropriate course of action.

D. Evaluation of Outcome
Effectiveness
• Gives examples of outcomes of shipboard courses
of action
• Emergency Drill Execution: Implementing a shipboard
course of action during an emergency drill can lead to
improved crew response times and better preparedness
for real-life situations. For example, a successful fire drill
might result in faster and more efficient evacuation
procedures
• Navigational Route Adjustment: A course of action to
alter a ship’s navigational route to avoid bad weather or
obstacles can prevent accidents and ensure safe
passage, leading to reduced risk of damage or injury.
• Maintenance Scheduling: Proactive maintenance actions
based on a ship’s course of action plan can lead to
fewer mechanical failures and operational disruptions,
improving overall vessel reliability and safety.
• Training and Development: Implementing a shipboard
course of action for crew training can enhance skills and
operational knowledge, leading to better performance
and compliance with safety regulations.
• Resource Management: Effective management of
resources like fuel and supplies according to a planned
course of action can result in cost savings and efficient
operations, ensuring the vessel remains within budget
and reduces waste.
•Describes how the outcome of
a course of action can be
assessed
• Define Success Criteria: Establish clear and measurable
goals before implementing the course of action. For
example, if the goal is to improve emergency response
times, define what constitutes a successful outcome
(e.g., evacuation within a specified time
• Collect Data: Gather relevant data before, during, and
after implementing the course of action. This might
include response times, maintenance logs, crew
performance metrics, or incident reports.
• Evaluate Performance: Compare the collected data
against the predefined success criteria. For instance, if
the course of action aimed to reduce equipment
downtime, assess whether downtime has decreased
post-implementation.
• Analyze Results: Identify trends, improvements, or
shortcomings. Determine whether the outcome aligns
with the objectives and identify any gaps or areas for
further improvement.
• Seek Feedback: Obtain input from crew members or
stakeholders involved in the implementation. Their
perspectives can provide insights into the effectiveness
and any practical challenges encountered.
• Review and Adjust: Based on the analysis, decide if the
course of action was successful or if adjustments are
needed. This might involve refining procedures,
enhancing training, or revising strategies.
•Describes possible follow up
actions once outcomes is
assessed
• Implement Improvements: Based on assessment
results, make adjustments to processes or procedures.
For example, if a training program revealed gaps in
knowledge, update the training materials or provide
additional sessions.
• Reinforce Training: If the outcome indicates that crew
performance was lacking, conduct additional training or
simulations to address specific deficiencies identified
during the assessment.
• Update Procedures: Revise standard operating
procedures or protocols if the assessment highlights
inefficiencies or safety concerns. This ensures that the
procedures reflect the lessons learned.
• Provide Feedback: Share assessment results with the
crew or relevant stakeholders. Recognize successes and
address areas needing improvement to foster a culture
of continuous improvement.
• Monitor Implementation: Continuously monitor the
effects of any changes made to ensure they are
effective and that the desired outcomes are being
achieved. Adjust as necessary based on ongoing
feedback and performance.
• Document Findings: Record the outcomes and follow-up
actions taken. This documentation can be valuable for
future reference and for ensuring compliance with
regulations or standards.
• Conduct Follow-Up Reviews: Schedule periodic reviews
to assess the long-term impact of the changes
implemented and to ensure that improvements are
sustained over time.

G. Judgement
• Gives meaning of judgement
Reality Judgment:
Example: A ship’s captain notices a sudden drop
in barometric pressure and darkening skies on
the horizon. Based on this observation, the
captain judges that a storm is approaching.
Value Judgment:
Example: During a rescue operation at sea, a
crew member spots a person in the water who is
too far to reach with a life ring. The officer in
charge must decide whether to launch a lifeboat
