Program Outcomes Addressed The Bachelor of Science in Marine Transportation (BSMT) program aims to:
a) develop a comprehensive understanding of the COLREGs 1972, including knowledge of the specific rules, definitions,
and regulations outlined in this international maritime document.
b) emphasizes the practical application of COLREGs to ensure safe navigation at sea. Seafarers learn how to interpret
and apply the rules in real-life situations to avoid collisions.
c) understand the concept of right of way and priority in various situations, such as head-on encounters, overtaking,
and crossing situations, as defined by COLREGs. They should be able to make the correct decisions to prevent
collisions.
d) Understand the use of lights and shapes on vessels to communicate their status and intentions. Seafarers learn how
to recognize and interpret these signals, ensuring clear communication between vessels.
e) be proficient in using sound signals to indicate their vessel's presence, course, and intention, as prescribed by
COLREGs. This includes understanding different horn signals and their meanings.
