National Diploma in Stevedoring and Ports Industry (Pilot Operations)
Level6
Credits120
Purpose
This is a standalone qualification for marine pilots. It is for personnel engaged in ship’s pilotage involving the safe conduct of a vessel within harbour limits including berthing manoeuvres. In addition, candidates are required to prove competence in coordinating resources to assist pilotage, port traffic management, and administration.
A combination of the entry requirements, and the practical and theoretical requirements of the specified standard means the qualification recognises all of the abilities required of a vessel’s harbour pilot. However, pilotage requirements are dependent on conditions prevailing in the harbour limits and, because local knowledge competence is site specific but ship-handling competence is international, the authority for pilots to operate in any harbour must come from the body governing that area. This may be a port company or local regional authority.
Special Notes
Training providers and/or assessors must sight evidence that the candidate holds a Master Foreign Going Ship (Master Mariner) certificate, as specified in Maritime Rule Part 32 Ship’s Personnel - Qualifications before commencing any training for, or assessment against Unit 11521, Act as harbour pilot.
