Application
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to inspect and service the equipment of a vessel’s deck, hull and cabin. It involves preparing for the task, inspecting the hull and deck of the vessel and the vessel equipment, reporting the inspection findings, servicing and adjusting the equipment as required, and completing workplace processes and documentation.
It applies to those working in the marine service and repair industry.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

anchor
bow and stern rails
steering system
electrical equipment and lighting.
Evidence of Knowledge
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to inspecting and servicing marine deck, hull and cabin equipment, including procedures for securing vessels prior to beginning work
environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of waste material produced during servicing processes
basic construction methods of vessels, including building materials
identification, function and basic operation of marine deck, hull and cabin equipment, including:
anchors
bow and stern rails
steering system
global positioning system (GPS)
radio communication system
depth sounder
inspection procedures for marine:
decks and hulls, including procedures for identifying deterioration and damage
deck, hull and cabin equipment, including procedures for identifying deterioration, damage and improper operation
service and adjustment procedures for marine deck, hull and cabin equipment, including procedures for lubricating and adjusting steering systems
post-service testing procedures for marine deck, hull and cabin equipment, including procedures for testing equipment in and out of water.
Assessment Conditions
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.
Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the vessels that they have worked on, e.g. repair orders.
Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.
The following resources must be made available:
marine repair workplace or simulated workplace
workplace instructions
manufacturer vessel specifications
three different vessels requiring servicing
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for inspecting and servicing vessel deck, hull and cabin equipment.
