Recommission vessels and engine systems

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit describes the performance outcomes required to prepare vessels and their engine systems for use after seasonal shutdown and storage. It involves testing the vessel and engine systems, reporting faults, recommissioning the vessel and engine systems, and determining the need for water testing.

It applies to those working in the marine service and repair industry.

No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standards defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:

recommission two different vessels and their engine systems, in which the work must involve:

preparing vessel systems for use, including:

electrical systems

steering system

safety systems

preparing engine systems for use, including:

fuel system

cooling system

driveline system.

Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:

work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to recommissioning vessels and engine systems, including procedures for checking and dealing with flammable gas build-up in boats

environmental requirements, including:

procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of fluids drained from engine systems

procedures for disposing of batteries

recommissioning procedures for vessel and engine systems, including:

properties and use of servicing fluids, lubricants and anti-corrosion products used in recommissioning procedures

preparing vessel systems for use, including:

electrical and on-board electronic systems

steering system

safety systems, including procedures for checking flotation devices and fire extinguishers

preparing engine systems for use, including:

fuel system

cooling system

driveline system

post-recommissioning testing procedures for vessel systems, including procedures for water testing vessels and systems.

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 vessels that they have recommissioned, e.g. repair orders.

Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.

The following resources must be made available:

marine repair workplace or simulated workplace

workplace instructions

manufacturer vessel specifications

two different vessels and associated engine systems requiring recommissioning

testing equipment for vessel systems

tools, equipment and materials appropriate for recommissioning vessels and engine systems.
