Context of assessment

Assessment of competency must comply with the assessment requirements of the relevant maritime regulations

Assessment of this unit must be undertaken within relevant marine authority approved and audited arrangements by a registered training organisation

As a minimum assessment of knowledge must be conducted through appropriate writtenoral examinations and

Appropriate practical assessment must occur

at the registered training organisation andor

on an appropriate working or training vessel

Range Statement

TDMML407A MANAGE ADMINISTRATION OF THE VESSEL AND ITS PERSONNEL

The Range Statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance.

VARIABLE

SCOPE

1. GENERAL CONTEXT

Work must be carried out:

in compliance with relevant maritime regulations

Work is performed:

relatively independently under broad operational requirements, with accountability and responsibility for self and others in achieving the prescribed outcomes

Work involves:

the application of a significant range management principles across a wide and often unpredictable variety of operational contexts. Contribution to the development and implementation of a broad operations and resources management plan and an ISM Code safety management system consistent with regulatory requirements and the operational needs of the vessel is required. Accountability and responsibility for self and others in achieving the outcomes is involved

Work requires:

significant judgement in planning, management and leadership functions related to operational, financial, resource and safety management. This includes management and control of personnel, finances and physical resources, analysis of situations and related decision making

2. WORKSITE ENVIRONMENT

Vessel may include:

any Australian or international commercial vessel of 500gross tonnage or more (i.e. for Masters), or 3,000kW propulsion power (i.e. for engineers)

Shipboard administration and management may include:

developing and monitoring plans for general and specific operations on board the vessel

establishing and monitoring performance standards for vessel operations

developing and monitoring the implementation of the vessel's ISM Code safety management system

investigating and reporting upon safety incidents and emergencies
