MRM is a combination of BRM, ERM with additional management and leadership skills modules to meet the new STCW2010 requirements.
The MRM course is designed to minimize the risk of incidents by encouraging safe and responsible behavior. It aims to foster positive attitudes favoring good personal communication, excellence in leadership skills and compliance with operating procedures. MRM is ideal for deck and engineering officers.

The course features a series of workshops delivered by trained workshop leaders. Errors and hazardous behavior are analyzed in a dynamic group situation and actual incidents and accidents are explored from a MRM perspective. The workshops are supported by computer based training modules that examine human interaction and management situations influencing the accident event.
