Qualification -
Unit of Competency MARN005 - Maintain seaworthiness of a vessel
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to maintain the seaworthiness of a vessel.This unit applies to people working in the maritime industry as a Watchkeeper Deck, a Master up to 500 gross tonnage (GT), or a 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: Check weather tight and watertight integrity of vessel
  • Structural members of vessel are investigated to establish weather tight and watertight requirements of vessel

  • Checks are completed to confirm weather tight and watertight integrity of vessel at all times
  • Defects and damage to vessel are identified and reported according to organisational procedures
       
Element: Take action to meet environmental changes
  • Anticipated sea and weather conditions are analysed to identify 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
       
Element: 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
