Qualification -
Unit of Competency MARJ004 - Inspect and report defects and damage to vessel
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to inspect and report defects and damage to vessels.This unit applies to a Watchkeeper Deck, Master up to 500 gross tonnage (GT) and Master up to 80 metres Near Coastal.This unit has links to legislative and certification requirements.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessors must satisfy National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (NVR)/Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) assessor requirements.

Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that reflect workplace conditions.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Resources for assessment must include access to:

tools, equipment, machinery, materials and personal protective equipment currently used in industry

applicable documentation such as legislation, regulations, codes of practice, workplace procedures and operational manuals

range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Plan inspections
  • Elements of the vessel structure critical to the safety of the vessel are identified
  • Location of defects and damage caused by vessel operations and the environment are ascertained
  • Parts of the vessel to be inspected for defects and damage are identified
  • Inspections are scheduled to ensure all parts are covered within a given time
  • Damage control plan is developed to ensure the seaworthiness of the vessel
       
Element: Check condition of vessel in normal and emergency situations
  • Organisational procedures for coverage and frequency of tests and inspections on the vessel are complied with
  • Watertight integrity is checked and appropriate action is taken to prepare for prevailing and forecast weather and sea conditions
  • Degree to which vessel is secured is appropriate to prevailing and forecast conditions
  • Defects and damage are reliably detected and appropriate action is taken to rectify the situation
  • Irregularities beyond own ability to rectify are recognised in time to enable remedial action to be taken
       
Element: Prepare reports
  • Reports are completed and maintained as required according to regulatory and organisational requirements
  • Relevant reports are sent to appropriate bodies and copies are filed according to regulatory and organisational requirements
  • Documents are stored according to regulatory and organisational requirements
