Proceedings of 14th International conference „Maritime Transport and Infrastructure - <strong>2012</strong>”General comments Course very intense and there are expected to work hard Support provided by college has been goodFollowing the first sea phase, the trainees were asked to concentrate on the electrical elementswithin their TRB and work experience onboard, as this would align with the knowledge and skills theyhad been provided with during their first college phase.During the second sea phase, the electronic elements of the course were introduced anddeveloped, including the fault finding skills that are an important learning outcome.After the completion of the final sea phase, the student’s TRB were reviewed to measure therange of tasks that had been completed. As expected the vessel type that candidates had sailed ondictated the specific onboard tasks completed, with few trainees able to complete the tasks on variablespeed drives and high voltage due to equipment within the ship type they had sailed on.The lack oh high voltage experience would be corrected by the completion of the establishedMerchant Navy Training Board (MNTB) High Voltage Awareness course that includes the followinglearning outcomes: Understand the functional, operational and safety requirements for a marine high voltagesystem; Assist suitably qualified personnel to carry out maintenance and repair of high voltageswitchgear of various types; Take remedial action necessary during system faults; Select suitable apparatus for isolation and testing HV equipment Carry out a switching and isolation procedure on a marine HV system complete with safetydocumentation Perform 5kV insulation resistance and polarisation index tests on HV equipment Produce a switching strategy for isolating HV system componentsThe variable speed drive tasks were assigned as an optional element to avoid restricting thetraining opportunities available for ETO trainees.Existing sea staffWhilst this new programme focussed on the training needs for new entrants to the MerchantNavy, it was also recognised that existing sea staff may wish to become certified under the newSTCW2010 certification to recognise their existing role, skills and knowledge.This certification will need an assessment of the skills across a wide range of existing sea staffagainst the STCW standard.Two examples will be provided to illustrate how an existing seafarer could obtain the newSTCW 2010 certificate of competency.Marine Electrician. A serving Electrical Officer would need to show that they have alreadyobtained the following training and skills:a) Electrical knowledge ability; if a qualification such as HNC is not held then this would beassessed by the current Chief Engineer Electro-technology examination paperb) Electronic knowledge; if a qualification is not held then this would be assessed by the currentAMERC Electronic principles examination paperc) High Voltage knowledge: if no previous HV experience, then the MNTB High VoltageAwareness course would be undertaken.d) Electronic skills; if a qualification such as the AMERC Electronic Navigation EquipmentMaintenance and the Radio Maintenance course is not held then this would be assessed bycompleting these courses.14
Proceedings of 14th International conference „Maritime Transport and Infrastructure - <strong>2012</strong>”e) Completion on the ETO Training Record Book, with the concession that work over the lastfive years will be valid, and confirmed by the Chief Engineer or Maintenance Recordsonboard.f) The completion of the advanced stcw safety courses of Advanced Fire Fighting, Medical FirstAid and Proficiency in Survival Craft and Rescue Boat.Engineer of the Watch. A serving Engineer of the Watch with STCW III/1 certification, andwith HND or similar level qualification. This candidate would need to show that they have alreadyobtained the following training and skills:a) Electronic knowledge; if a qualification is not held then this would be assessed by the currentAMERC Electronic principles examination paperb) Electrical maintenance skills; if no Marine Electrical Maintenance course has been completed,then a three week practical programme would need to be completed.c) High Voltage knowledge: if no previous HV experience, then the MNTB High VoltageAwareness course would be undertaken.d) Electronic skills; if a qualification such as the AMERC Electronic Navigation EquipmentMaintenance and the Radio Maintenance course is not held then this would be assessed bycompleting these courses.e) Completion on the ETO Training Record Book, with the concession that work over the lastfive years will be valid, and confirmed by the Chief Engineer or Maintenance Recordsonboard.In both cases, the final assessment of competence would be the MCA oral examination.ConclusionsThe certification within the new IMO STCW standard ensures that the important role of theElectro-technical Officer is recognised both internally within the industry and also by other externalbodies. This Certificate of Competency will not impose an additional burden of training costs onemployers, but supports them in their need to assess seafarer competence within the existingInternational Safety Management (ISM) Code.The training programmes devised for the UK market are expected to evolve from this initialstructure to reflect the changing needs of industry and the technical driven processes onboard. Othercountries have responded to this STCW change by the creation of a new IMO Model Course forETO’s, but this only covers the Operational level training standard. While this may comply with theSTCW regulations, the UK industry need for management level training would not be fulfilled.This training scheme will create graduates skilled seafarers with the skills and knowledgerequired within today’s merchants fleets. Matching industry needs must remain an importantconsideration of any programme design, to ensure that sufficient competence staff exist. By providingthis training programme, graduates will have improved employment prospects, and owners and shipmanagers will have reduced overall operational costs for their vessels.15
