COMPASS Batch 17: HCP and ISNTC’s joint Maritime Resource Management Training Program

May-16-2016

Hartmann Crew Philippines (HCP) and Intership Navigation Training Center (ISNTC) in cooperation with Learning Just Made Better (LJMB) headed by its CEO and Chief Consultant Mr. Louie John M. Banta conducted the COMPASS seminar last May 11-13, 2016.

COMPASS stands for Communication/Conflict Management and Professional Assertiveness. This is HCP and ISNTC’s joint Maritime Resource Management training program which started last April 2010. It is now on its 17th batch. Participants in this program are management level officers and engineers including those who are promotable to a management level position.

In addition to group discussions, COMPASS focuses on the assessment of actual cases and cases that might occur onboard. The program identifies and tests the participants’ abilities and skills through simulations made possible with the company’s advanced simulator machines. This gives both deck and engine officers a chance to interact with one another in true-to-life situations onboard.

The program was birthed after realizing the need to develop further the ability of officers in dealing with conflicts on board and to resolve these challenges assertively and professionally. Discussions on leadership, time management, and decision making are also taught to all participants. Filipino culture and its effects on management and decisive decision making were also taken up.

(Activity on effective communication)

It is expected that at the end program, participants will be able to communicate and behave assertively and positively whilst handling conflict situations at work. This programs also helps to meet the requirements in accordance to Table A-II/1 for Bridge Resource Management, Table A-III/1 for Engine Resource Management, Table A-II/2 and A-III/2 for Use Leadership and Managerial Skills and Table A-II/1, A-III/1 and A-III/6 for Application of Leadership and Teamworking Skills of the STCW Code 1978 as amended in 2010.

(Group discussion: Self and Peer Assessment)

Furthermore, as the name of the program implies, the participants are expected to have better skills in Communication/Conflict Management and Professional Assertiveness—all of which are crucial for a safe and successful voyage, smooth shipping operations, and correct direction in their career.
