This module looks at the importance of planning in managing a ship effectively. The significance of forecasting and controlling both voyage costs and operating costs is explained. A basic planning tool - S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time-based) is put forward. The need to allow for contingencies in all planning is emphasised. The study guide goes into greater detail of the seafarer's role in controlling costs and setting objectives.
