Undertake maintenance of machinery, machinery systems and structural components

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: June 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to establish, organise and implement a preventative and reactive maintenance program and capabilities for machinery, machinery systems and structural components to optimise vessel operational performance.

It includes verifying maintenance requirements; establishing maintenance systems; organising maintenance activities; supervising maintenance tasks; performing planned and breakdown maintenance activities; monitoring, adjusting and reporting on implementation of the maintenance plan; and carrying out damage control procedures.

This unit of competency applies to people working in the maritime industry in the capacity of:

Chief Engineer on vessels with inboard engines less than 1500 kW within the exclusive economic zone (EEZ)

Second Engineer on vessels with inboard engines less than 3000 kW within the EEZ

Chief or Second Engineer on vessels with outboard engines with unlimited propulsion power within the EEZ

an assistant under the direct supervision of the Chief Engineer

a worker in the engine room of a vessel less than 80 metres long with propulsion power less than 3000 kW.

Licensing/Regulatory Information

Legislative and regulatory requirements are applicable to this unit.

This unit is one of the requirements to obtain Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) certification as a Marine Engine Driver Grade 1 Near Coastal as defined in the National Standard for Commercial Vessels (NSCV) Part D.

Note: Relevant state/territory training and qualification requirements must be fulfilled by any persons carrying out installation, maintenance and/or repair of refrigeration equipment, especially with regard to preventing the escape of refrigerants into the atmosphere and to electrical work.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Practical assessment must occur in a workplace, or realistic simulated workplace, under the normal range of workplace conditions.

Simulations and scenarios may be used where situations cannot be provided in the workplace or may occur only rarely, in particular for situations relating to emergency procedures and adverse weather conditions where assessment would be unsafe, impractical or may lead to environmental damage.

Resources for assessment must include access to:

a commercial vessel with inboard diesel propulsion power of greater than and equal to 375 kW or appropriate engine, propulsion plant and auxiliary system ashore

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
