Introduction

The mandatory requirements for the training of masters, officers and ratings ontankers are set out in Regulation V/1 of the Annex to the STCW Convention, asamended in 1995, and Section A-V/1 of the STCW Code. These guide lines will

be effective from 1

st

August 2005.Health and Safety: Conduct of training

All Training Institutes must adhere to applicable regulations made under theHealth and Safety at Work.Training Institutes are required to make assessments of any potential risks to thehealth and safety of staff and trainees that may be associated with their activities.They are also required to identify, implement, monitor and review effectivemeasures for minimizing and controlling them. In addition, Training Institutes willbe required to make effective arrangements for dealing with any emergency,

incident or accident that may occur during the course of training.Training for masters and officers on tankers

Scope This training is intended for masters, officers andratings serving on tankers who are required toundertake additional training and familiarization inaccordance with the IMO Convention on Standards ofTraining, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW), asamended in 1995, and the STCW Code.

Structure The training is in two stages:

i Familiarization

Intended for officers and ratings assignedspecific duties and responsibilities related tocargo or cargo equipment on tankers.

This stage of training is common to all types oftanker and consists of three options:

- at least three months sea-going service ontankers, in order to gain operationalexperience and knowledge of safeoperational practices in loading, carryingand discharging bulk oil, chemical orliquefied gas cargoes; or


3/19

- at least one month sea-going service ontankers of less than 3,000 GT engaged onvoyages not exceeding 72 hours in order togain sufficient operational experience andknowledge of loading and discharging

procedures; or

.ii Specialized

Intended for masters, chief engineer officers,chief mates, second engineer officers and anyperson with immediate responsibility forloading, discharging and care in transit orhandling of cargo, such as cargo officer or

cargo engineer.

The training at this stage is specializedaccording to the type of cargo oil, chemical orliquefied gas.

Entry standards There are no specific entry standards to the first stagefamiliarization training.

Entry to the second stage of specialized training isdependent upon completion of the first stagefamiliarization training.

Course intake limitations The number of trainees on each course will dependupon the availability of instructors, equipment andfacilities available for conducting the training.

Staff requirements All training and instruction must be given, andassessments carried out, by properly qualifiedpersonnel. Instructors must understand the specificobjectives of the training and be familiar with theoperation of tankers and the equipment commonlyfound in them.

In addition, those involved should have:

i a knowledge of instructional techniques and oftraining methods and practice;

ii an understanding of assessment methods andpractice;


4/19

iii have gained practical instructional andassessment experience under the supervisionand to the satisfaction of experiencedinstructors/assessors.

Outcomes The outcomes to be achieved in the familiarizationtraining are set out in Annex A. The outcomes for thespecialized training in oil, chemical and liquefied gastanker operations are at Annexes B, C and Drespectively.

Assessment Training Institutes must devise appropriateinstruments of assessment, for consideration as partof the approval process. 100% attendance is required.

Accurate records should be made of the assessmentinstruments used, showing how evidence is

generated. Records of candidates achievements mustbe kept and retained for subsequent verification. Awritten test would be carried out at the end of training.

Facilities and equipment Appropriate instructional facilities includinginternationally recognized facility to simulate shipboardconditions, visual aids and other equipment asnecessary. .Facilities and equipment must beavailable which enable practical demonstrations andexercises

to be undertaken in the context of thespecific objectives of the training.

The facilities must include:- copies of the most important text books and

regulatory texts as shown in Annex E on displayand available for reference

- pictures and technical drawings of oil, chemicaland liquefied gas tankers, as appropriate

- equipment for demonstrating (where practicable)the physical properties of oil, chemical and gasescarried in bulk in merchant ships

- specialized equipment, on display and available fordemonstration as required, including:

- personal safety and personal protectiveequipment

- oxygen resuscitator

- gas indicator tubes

- portable measuring and detectingequipment

Training plan For those following planned training schemesapproved by DMS leading to first certificates ofcompetency, it is intended that the familiarizationtraining should form an integral

part of the overall training programme and becomplementary to other studies.

The specialized training programme may also beintegrated into such a training programme whereshipboard training is being undertaken on oil, chemicalor liquefied gas tankers.

In these circumstances, the training may beundertaken in progressive stages during college-based phases and the intervening periods of sea

service. It is not appropriate to specify the duration ofthe learning provided achievement of the specifiedstandard (outcomes) is properly assessed andrecorded.

Alternatively, for candidates who are not following aplanned and structured training programme, thetraining may be provided as full time block courses asdescribed.

A single course covering combinations such aspetroleum and chemical need not include repetition ofthe familiarization elements for each type of cargo.

Conduct of training Training and assessment must beundertaken by persons qualified in accordance withthe provisions of Section A I/6 of the STCW Code.

.

The specialized training should incorporate two parts,which may be delivered concurrently: a general partconcerning principles involved and a part on theapplication of those principles to ship operation. Asmuch use as possible should be made of shipboardoperation and equipment manuals, videos and othersuitable visual aids and demonstration equipment.Every opportunity should be taken to introduce adiscussion of the part to be played by the shipboardsafety organization.

Quality standards The arrangements for delivering the training andassessing competence must be continuouslymonitored through a quality standards system toensure achievement of defined objectives.

Training Institutes are required to maintain a qualitystandard through documented procedures that shallbe inspected and monitored by DMS

The quality standards system and evaluationarrangements may be part of Training Institutesoverall quality assurance system.

Documentation Satisfactory completion of each stage of training andattainment of the desired standard will be attested toby a certificate issued by the centre, in the format

approved by DMS. Approval Training Institutesoffering training and assessment must be approved byDMS.

Guidelines on structure and content of tanker familiarization course

The following guidelines apply where the training is provided as a full time blockcourse.

The duration of the course will depend on the background and prior knowledgeand experience of course participants. However, where potential candidateshave limited prior experience, it is unlikely that the stated objectives can beachieved in less than 30 hours instruction overall.

The course should be based on the syllabus given at paragraphs 2 to 7 ofSection A-V/1 of the STCW Code. It should be designed so as to achieve theoutcomes listed below and must include practical demonstrations whereappropriate.

Outcomes

At the end of the course the student should have the specialized technicalknowledge to serve on a tanker and be assigned specific duties andresponsibilities related to cargo or cargo equipment. The student will have gainedsufficient knowledge of the practical application of the basic principles andconcepts of safe tanker operations in order to carry out those duties.The familiarization training will enable the student to demonstrate anunderstanding of these principles and will include:-
