This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to implement a maintenance program for a vessel less than 80 metres.

This unit applies to people working in the maritime industry in the capacity of:

Master of commercial vessels less than 35 metres in length within the exclusive economic zone (EEZ)

Master of vessels less than 80 metres in length in inshore waters

Chief Mate or Deck Watchkeeper on vessels less than 80 metres in length within the EEZ.

Licensing/Regulatory Information

Legislative and regulatory requirements are applicable to this unit.

This unit is one of the requirements to obtain Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) certification as a Master less than 35 metres Near Coastal and Mate less than 80 metres Near Coastal, as defined in the National Standard for Commercial Vessels (NSCV) Part D.

Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least one occasion and include:

actioning planned maintenance system, including:

liaising with internal and external suppliers, authorities and agencies

preparing reports on outcomes of inspection and maintenance activities

taking appropriate precautions to prevent pollution of the marine environment

using and interpreting vessel, equipment and machinery specifications, drawings, operational manuals and diagrams

developing a maintenance program having regard to:

owner's requirements

periodic survey requirements

programmed maintenance requirements of hull and machinery

relevant safety data sheets (SDS)/material safety data sheets (MSDS)

routine maintenance as contained in manufacturer instruction manuals and drawings

safety and environmental policy and requirements

initiating timely action in response to defects or damage.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

elements of ship structure crucial to the safety of the ship

fundamental principles of vessel construction

maintenance records that must be maintained on vessel to meet organisational and regulatory requirements

managing maintenance of the vessel

means for control of corrosion of marine surfaces and structures

monitoring, selection and use of supplies involved in maintenance of vessel

planned maintenance system, including:

continuous improvement and review procedures

document control procedures

provision of safe practices in vessel operation and a safe working environment

reference to applicable codes, guidelines and standards

systems for recording completed maintenance schedules, including identification of defective equipment and rectification of defects

principal structural components

procedures for initiation and coordination of repair and/or replacement procedures onboard vessel

relevant laws and regulations, including work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) and pollution control legislation

routine maintenance activities

slipping and docking procedures suitable for various types of hull forms

typical problems related to maintenance of vessels and appropriate actions and solutions.

Assessors must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

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.

Practical assessment must occur in a workplace, or realistic simulated workplace, under the normal range of workplace conditions.

Simulations and scenarios may be used where situations cannot be provided in the workplace or may occur only rarely, in particular for situations relating to emergency procedures and adverse weather conditions where assessment would be unsafe, impractical or may lead to environmental damage.

Resources for assessment must include access to:

a commercial vessel greater than or equal to 12 metres in length

applicable documentation, such as legislation, regulations, codes of practice, safety management system (SMS), workplace procedures and operational manuals.

Submission Requirements

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
