The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, , the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package. |
1 | Critical aspects of evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Assessment must confirm appropriate knowledge and skills to: |
a | Interpret information obtained from a vessel's stability data book |
b | Carry out basic calculations associated with vessel stability using the required stability criteria, including interpreting and correlating the resultant data |
c | Manage the stress and dynamic factors affecting the stability of a small commercial vessel |
d | Communicate effectively with others concerning measures required to control the stability of the vessel |
2 | Evidence required for demonstration of consistent performance | a | Performance is demonstrated consistently over a period of time and in a suitable range of contexts |
b | Applies underpinning knowledge and skills when: |
| 1 | managing of the stress and dynamic factors affecting the stability of a small commercial vessel engaged on a coastal voyage |
| 2 | calculating and interpreting data associated with stability management |
c | Shows evidence of application of relevant workplace procedures including: |
| 1 | relevant maritime regulations |
| 2 | OH&S regulations and hazard prevention policies and procedures |
| 3 | job procedures and work instructions |
| 4 | relevant vessel manufacturer's guidelines relating to the trim, stability and stress limits of the vessel |
| 5 | procedures to protect the integrity and security of the vessel's hull |
| 6 | environmental protection procedures when pumping ballast water |
d | Action is taken promptly to report and/or rectify out-of-limit trim, stability and stresses of the vessel |
e | Work is completed systematically with required attention to detail |
f | Recognises and adapts appropriately to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions among crew and others |
3 | Context of assessment | a | Assessment of competency must comply with the assessment requirements of the relevant maritime regulations |
b | Assessment of this unit must be undertaken within relevant marine authority approved and audited arrangements by a registered training organisation: |
| 1 | As a minimum, assessment of knowledge must be conducted through appropriate written/oral examinations, and |
| 2 | Appropriate practical assessment must occur: |
| | i | at the registered training organisation; and/or |
| | ii | on an appropriate working or training vessel |
| |
4 | Specificresourcesrequired for assessment | Access is required to opportunities to: |
a | participate in a range of exercises, case studies and other simulated practical and knowledge assessments that demonstrate the skills and knowledge to manage the stress and dynamic factors affecting the stability of a small vessel in a range of operational situations; and/or |
b | assist in the management of the stress and dynamic factors affecting the stability of a small vessel engaged on a coastal voyage in a range of operational situations, either: |
| 1 | using a suitable simulator over an appropriate range of simulated loading and operational situations |
| 2 | in appropriate practical situations on an operational commercial or training vessel possibly during seatime training |
