Usage of Algorithms in Bridge Simulators to Enhance Learning

By Capt. Abhinandan Prasad MNI

In recent years, advances in computing — from artificial intelligence to adaptive learning
systems — have shown how algorithms can transform the way we work and more
importantly, the way we learn. In maritime education, where hands-on practice is just as
important as conceptual classroom theory, the potential for algorithms to refine simulator-
based training is exceptionally appealing.

Bridge Resource Management (BRM) courses, guided by STCW requirements and the IMO
Model Course for the same, aim to develop competencies ranging from clear communication
to effective teamwork. The learning outcomes
