This unit describes the performance outcomes required to moor and dock a motor-driven vessel to or from a dockside or swing mooring. It involves preparing for the task, conducting a vessel and equipment safety inspection, moving the vessel from its mooring into a safe area of water, and returning the vessel to its mooring.
It applies to those working in the marine service and repair industry. The vessels are those up to 19 metres in length.
Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements may apply to this unit in some jurisdictions. Users are advised to check with the relevant regulatory authority.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.
Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the motor-driven vessels that they have moored, e.g. photographs of moored vessels.
Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.
The following resources must be made available:
moorings for vessels, including a swing mooring and a dockside mooring
two different motor-driven vessels up to 19 metres in length requiring mooring
state and territory marine safety laws
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for inspecting and mooring motor-driven vessels.
