SUMMARY
The practical training of deck officers comprises 12 months of on-board training (OBT), which is to meet the requirements provided by the STCW Code, section AII/1, and shore-based training to acquire other corresponding competencies prescribed by the STCW Code. It must be noted that shore-based training, which relates to bridge watchkeeping (simulation bridge training), is usually arranged after cadets have already completed a part of on-board training. So, when joining a ship for the first time, cadets usually do not have neither actual watchkeeping experience nor preliminary bridge simulator . . .
