I have, for a number of years, been concerned that experiential knowledge ( knowledge gained from

experience and reflected upon) is not being transferred between seafarers on board today’s modern

merchant ships as it used to be by mentoring.

We think that, by continiously training our surveyors, this will be a contributory factor in future

attandances.

Knowledge should be transfered from Senior to Junior Surveyors.

What are the barriers that that were preventing this transfer of this knowledge

Provide practical suggestions to help re-establish the flow of knowledge.

Life based on findings during BQS.

For, although you may not agree with what I say, the very act of disagreeing is engaging and helps to raise

the profile of the mentoring debate.

Identify the causes of knowledge gaps

Where are these knowledge gaps

Transfer of experience to others

Most definetley,

To pass on some knwoledge you have gained to someone else.

In the early days knowledge transfer between ranks took place as a matter of routine.

Most officers where happy to train their potential succecors and conversely, most officers understudied

their immediate superior.

Flow of experiantal knowledge….
