Strengthen bridge-team performance through better lookout, clearer communication, and disciplined support of the Officer of the Watch.
Deck Watchkeeping & Lookout Duties – Canadian Bridge Operations Awareness is a practical, self-paced course for deck ratings, cadets, and bridge-support personnel. It develops awareness of proper lookout, watch handover, bridge communication, collision-risk reporting, observer-level bridge-system awareness, emergency duties, fatigue, and the limits of individual authority.
With dedicated coverage of the St. Lawrence, Great Lakes/Seaway, and Canadian Arctic, the course helps learners apply international watchkeeping principles to real Canadian operating conditions while reinforcing safe use of radar, AIS, ECDIS, automation, and other bridge technology within assigned responsibilities.
