Elements and Performance Criteria
- Supervise weather tight and watertight integrity of vessel
- Principal structural components of vessel are identified from vessel drawings to understand the function of these components in relation to conventional vessel design
- Pumping and pipeline systems of vessel are investigated to establish survivability of vessel in case of flooding and mage control
- Procedures for maintaining weather tight and watertight integrity of vessel are interpreted and implemented according to vessel safety management plan and regulations
- Crew are instructed on requirements of plan and their responsibilities
- Actions are instigated to confirm weather tight and watertight integrity of vessel at all times
- Take action to meet changed sea and weather conditions
- Weather forecasts and observations of sea and weather conditions are used to predict situations that may jeopardise vessel weather tight and watertight integrity
- Effect of severe wind and rolling in associated sea conditions on vessel weather tight and watertight integrity is recognised
- Effect of water on deck on vessel weather tight and watertight integrity is ascertained
- Appropriate action is taken to maintain vessel weather tight and watertight integrity according to organisational procedures
- Maintain records
- Relevant documents and records are completed and maintained as required according to regulatory and organisational requirements
- Relevant documents are sent to appropriate bodies and copies are filed according to regulatory and organisational requirements
- Documents are stored according to regulatory and organisational requirements
