One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Management-level voyage planning responsibilities

Management-level voyage planning responsibilities focus on the duties of senior officers—chiefly the Master and Chief Officer—who must prepare, approve, and maintain a comprehensive voyage plan. Mastership requires ensuring all charts, publications, and risk assessments are current, coordinating with crew and port authorities, and documenting any changes during the voyage.
