Unit of Competency | PUADEFCA311B - Operate an inland tug boat |
---|---|---|---|
Description | This unit covers the competency required to operate an inland tug boat of up to ten metres. This Unit of Competency covers the operation of the tug while towing/pushing unloaded pontoons of up to thirty ton.The watercraft will normally be driven in an environment of protected or inland waterways, while conducting a range of tasks including transporting personnel and/or equipment. While the technical aspects of this competency are concerned with 'operating a boat', the specialisation of the skill, and safety issues associated with waterborne operations confer additional responsibilities upon the operator.For all watercraft operations the individual may need to provide directions to personnel within the boat concerning specific safety matters such as seating, movement and actions on incidents such as 'man overboard' and 'capsize'. The individual must demonstrate sound judgement in the use of authority, and where possible, work within the existing lines of authority. The individual will usually operate the boat with minimum supervision and command a crew of up to five persons.To operate an inland tug boat, relevant state/territory and commonwealth licensing requirements must be met. | ||
