Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit has application to aquaculture, fishing operations and fisheries compliance where use is made of small vessels and a maritime regulatory certification is not required. For advice on certifications refer to the current TDM07 Maritime Training Package.

The competency involves the maintenance of marine mechanical plant and systems, including auxiliary machinery, propulsion plant and service systems, such as LPG and fire hoses including associated pipework and fittings.

All enterprise or workplace procedures and activities are carried out according to relevant government regulations, licensing and other compliance requirements, including occupational health and safety (OHS) guidelines and ecologically sustainable development (ESD) principles.

Equipment operation, maintenance, repairs and calibrations are undertaken in a safe manner that conforms to manufacturer instructions. Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) is selected, checked, used and maintained.

This unit of competency involves preparing resources and the work area for maintenance using safe and environmentally responsible methods.

Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements may apply to this unit. Therefore it will be necessary to check with the relevant state or territory regulators for current licensing, legislative or regulatory requirements before undertaking this unit.

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