Unit of Competency MARB042 - Manage reported defects, damage, repairs and maintenance of a vessel
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to implement a planned maintenance system to ensure effective maintenance of a vessel, including assessing reported defects, damages and repairs of a vessel to ensure its seaworthiness.This unit applies to people working in the maritime industry in the capacity of: Master of a commercial vessel Unlimited.Licensing/Regulatory InformationLegislative 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 Unlimited and to meet regulatory requirements this unit must be delivered consistent with Marine Orders and with the relevant sections of the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW).Those regulatory requirements include STCW International Maritime Organization (IMO) model course competencies and areas of knowledge, understanding and proficiency, together with the estimated total hours required for lectures and practical exercises. Teaching staff should note that timings are suggestions only and should be adapted to suit individual groups of trainees depending on their experience, ability, equipment and staff available for training.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within 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:

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

tools, equipment, machinery, materials and relevant personal protective equipment (PPE) currently used in industry.

Element: Organise support processes
  • Resource requirements are determined and organised according to the maintenance plan
       
Element: Targets and milestones are identified and linked to the achievement of outcomes according to the maintenance plan
       
Element: Documentation and checklists associated with the implementation of the maintenance plan are prepared in established formats and distributed to relevant people
       
Element: Information related to the implementation of the maintenance plan is distributed according to organisational procedures
       
Element: Contingency arrangements for the implementation of the maintenance plan are identified
       
Element: Monitor implementation of maintenance plan
  • Progress is systematically monitored and variations to implementation of the maintenance plan are verified as required with relevant people
       
Element: Expenditure and resource usage are monitored and controlled to ensure objectives are achieved within specified parameters
       
Element: Coaching and mentoring assistance is provided to crew members as required to overcome difficulties in implementing the plan
       
Element: Systems, records and reporting procedures are maintained according to regulatory and organisational requirements
       
Element: Evaluate implementation of maintenance plan
  • Regular reports on progress and outcomes are provided orally or in writing to relevant stakeholders to ensure completion of activities is in line with maintenance plan
       
Element: Systematic review processes and established evaluation methods are used to evaluate implementation processes and outcomes
       
Element: Evaluation results are prepared in required format and presented to relevant people within agreed timeframes
       
Element: Recommendations for improving implementation processes are presented to relevant people according to organisational procedures
       
Element: Relevant documentation is completed and processed according to regulatory and organisational 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.
