planned review date:January 1998

sub-field:Maritime

purpose:This unit standard is for people in the maritime engineering industry and covers the necessary operation of marine auxiliary and service plant outside of normal operating parameters and methods when required by the needs of overall ship safety or safe operation during malfunction.

People credited with this unit standard are able to: initiate start up and shut down operations to marine auxiliaries and service plant during abnormal operation; optimise output of auxiliaries and service plant during abnormal operation; and respond to changes in demand during abnormal operation of auxiliaries and service plant.

entry information:Open.

accreditation option:Evaluation of documentation and visit by NZQA and industry.

moderation option:A centrally established and directed moderation system has been established by Maritime Qualifications New Zealand Inc.

special notes:1Safety rules, regulations, legislation, and their subsequent amendments include:

-Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS);

-Marine Pollution (MARPOL);

-Resource Management Act (RMA) 1994;

-Maritime Transport Act 1994;

-Company or Organisational rules and regulations;

-Manufacturer’s guidelines.

2Plant includes electrical systems and auxiliary services.

3Parameters include:

-Pressures;

-Levels;

-Flow;

-Temperatures;

-Speeds;

-Voltage;

-Amps;

-Cycles;

-Insulation values;

-Vibrations.

4Correct personnel are those parties who are either stakeholders in, or who hold control of, or who possess accountability for, the related context of the performance.

Elements and Performance Criteria

element 1

Initiate start up and shut down operations to marine auxiliaries and service plant during abnormal operation.

performance criteria

1.1The need for alterations to routine operations are identified, justifiable, and communicated to the correct personnel.

1.2Operations are planned and carried out in accordance with company safety rules and regulations.

1.3The timing and degree of preparation of plant meet the needs of the condition of plant and the nature of the malfunction.

1.4Planned alterations to parameters and methods are confirmed with the correct personnel.

1.5Revised parameters and methods minimise the risk of plant damage and disruption to operations.

1.6Revised parameters and methods are communicated to operational personnel and subordinates.

1.7The sequence and timings of start up or shut down of equipment and systems are consistent with the condition of the plant and the nature of the malfunction.

Range:start up and shut down of plant - on request for assistance, necessary operation of malfunctioning plant, e.g. for safety of navigation, necessary operation outside of normal parameters and methods.

1.8Abnormal operation of plant maintains the safety of the vessel and personnel.

element 2

Optimise output of auxiliaries and service plant during abnormal operation.

Range:plant output - on request for assistance, necessary operation of malfunctioning plants, e.g. for safety of navigation, necessary operation outside of normal parameters and methods.

performance criteria

2.1The need for alterations to routine operations is identified, justifiable, and communicated to the correct personnel.

2.2Operations are planned and carried out in accordance with company safety rules and regulations.

2.3Revised operating parameters and methods minimise the risk of plant damage and disruption to operations.

2.4Output is maintained as close to actual demand as the nature of any fault or condition permits.

2.5Necessary alterations to output are made and agreed with personnel affected by the alteration.

2.6Revised parameters and methods are communicated to operational personnel and subordinates.

2.7Abnormal operation of plant maintains the safety of the vessel and personnel.

element 3

Respond to changes in demand during abnormal operation of auxiliaries and service plant.

Range:alterations in output - on request for assistance, necessary operation of malfunctioning;

plants, e.g. for safety of navigation, necessary operation outside of normal parameters and methods.

performance criteria

3.1The need for alterations to routine operations is identified, justifiable, and communicated to the correct personnel.

3.2Operations are planned and carried out in accordance with company safety rules and regulations.

3.3New demand requirements are identified in a timeframe which maintains safe operations.

Range:operation - manual adjustment of controls to achieve new demand, monitoring of remote operation.

3.4Preparations of alterations in output comply with engineering practices.

Range:engineering practices - company procedures, industry codes of practice.

3.5The timing and sequence of adjustments during alteration of output meet the requirements of the operation.

3.6Revised output matches demand as close as the nature of the fault or condition allows.

3.7Abnormal operation of plant maintains the safety of the vessel and personnel.

3.8Revised parameters are communicated to correct personnel.
