4106 version 3 28-Jun-16 1 of 6 MARITIME ENGINEERING Plan and record hull maintenance level: 5 credit: 8 planned review date: June 1998 sub-field: Maritime purpose: People credited with this unit standard are able to determine the requirements for hull maintenance and plan for the maintenance. Hull maintenance includes the metal work of the vessel, steel work of the vessel, paintwork and associated fittings. 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 the Maritime Qualifications New Zealand (Inc). special notes: Maintenance requirements identified are built into long term maintenance programmes (one year and over), short term implementation plans (one week to a month), daily schedules including repair maintenance and the production of specifications for maintenance in refit. Information on maintenance intervals includes: actual and desired condition, routine servicing requirements, restoration and repair requirements, availability of resources, and safety requirements and precautions. Information includes: from own experience, classification society and statutory survey requirements, manufacturer’s manuals and schedules, actual condition, forecast condition, company requirements, and maintenance records. New Zealand Qualifications Authority 2016 4106 version 3 28-Jun-16 2 of 6 MARITIME ENGINEERING Plan and record hull maintenance Hull steelwork and associated fittings includes: internal paintwork, external paintwork, steel work, peck fittings (to include: wire rope, fibre rope, safety equipment). Plans cover: long term maintenance programmes (one year and over), medium term maintenance (six months), short term maintenance plans (one week to a month), daily schedules including repair maintenance. Maintenance plans include: routine maintenance and servicing, restoration and repair, protection from the environment, and general appearance. Plans cover: resources, methods and procedures, safety precautions, limits of responsibility, quality requirements, and quantity requirements. Sources for maintenance records include: personal observation, reports from maintenance personnel, surveyors, manufacturer’s representatives and specialists, and colleagues. Reports are made to: shore management, classification societies, statutory bodies, repair companies, and manufacturers. Reports are on: maintenance carried out, comparison between maintenance planned and actually carried out conditions, faults, recommendations, and matters required by classification societies and statute. Recording, storage and retrieval methods are both manual and electronic. Reports are written and verbal. New Zealand Qualifications Authority 2016 4106 version 3 28-Jun-16 3 of 6 MARITIME ENGINEERING Plan and record hull maintenance The context of the unit standard covers: maintenance objectives and plans, company policies and procedures regarding long term and day to day maintenance, eventual consequences of not carrying out maintenance, the different types of paint systems available and their respective properties, and specific hazards involved with hull and steelwork. Principles and methods relate to: assessing and evaluating information in terms of relevance, reliability, sufficiency and implications, obtaining information on maintenance requirements, organising information to assist planning, and evaluating information. Data relates to: all aspects of maintenance for which the officer is responsible, the effects of the marine environment on the vessel, specifically with respect to corrosion, a broad understanding of ship construction and the stresses a vessel encounters in a seaway, the importance of vessel structure with respect to strength and flexibility, the different types of material used in ship construction and their properties, the requirements for statutory and classification surveys, availability of resources, and different paint types and paint systems. A broad understanding is required of: maintenance objectives, priorities and plans, company policies and procedures regarding productivity quality and working conditions, legislation relating to work methods, health and safety, and records maintenance. Principles and methods relate to: establishing defining and reviewing objectives and performance measures (including project planned and resource allocation), using an analytical approach to assess and optimise the use of resources, and applying relevant legislation to actual and proposed circumstances. New Zealand Qualifications Authority 2016 4106 version 3 28-Jun-16 4 of 6 MARITIME ENGINEERING Plan and record hull maintenance Data relates to: work objectives and related performance measures and success criteria, principle risks and contingent factors affecting maintenance activities, resources available for maintenance, acceptable types of work methods, all aspects of maintenance for which the officer is responsible, systems and methods used for recording, storing and retrieving particular pieces of information, strengths and limitations of each system, location of recording systems and items within them, procedures for security and confidentiality of information, and people responsible for the maintenance and development of recording systems. Principles and methods relate to: organising, storing and retrieving information by using manual and electronic means, and applying relevant items of legislation and organisational rules to recording, storing and supplying information. Elements and Performance Criteria element 1 Define the overall maintenance requirements for hull, steelwork and fittings. performance criteria 1.1 Information concerning maintenance requirements is sought from the appropriate sources aboard the vessel and ashore. 1.2 Information is complete, related to the task, and collected with a time frame to be of use. 1.3 Information on forecast condition is accurate with respect to known rates of deterioration. New Zealand Qualifications Authority 2016 4106 version 3 28-Jun-16 5 of 6 MARITIME ENGINEERING Plan and record hull maintenance 1.4 Information is organised into a suitable form to enable a coherent maintenance programme to be developed. 1.5 The levels of priority of maintenance requirements are accurately identified with respect to overall ship safety, commercial operations and other considerations. element 2 Plan the implementation of maintenance schedules for hull, steelwork and associated fittings. performance criteria 2.1 Maintenance plans schedule maintenance evenly over available time scale. 2.2 Maintenance plans coordinate maintenance with required statutory and classification society surveys. 2.3 Maintenance plans are realistic in terms of time, manpower and resources available. 2.4 Work methods and activities are consistent with current operational priorities, organisational objectives and legal requirements and include opportunities for individual development where possible. 2.5 Work methods and activities optimise the use of available material, capital and people and reflect close consultation with other departments. 2.6 Work methods and activities ensure that maintenance objectives are achieved. 2.7 Plans are recorded in a suitable format for reference and comply with industry and organisational requirements. New Zealand Qualifications Authority 2016 4106 version 3 28-Jun-16 6 of 6 MARITIME ENGINEERING Plan and record hull maintenance element 3 Compile maintenance records and reports for hull, steelwork and associated fittings. performance criteria 3.1 Records and reports are complete, accurate and comply with organisational and statutory requirements. 3.2 Records are maintained at a level of detail required for a full maintenance history to be identified. 3.3 Amendments to drawings and manuals accurately reflect any modification made and include any authorisation needed for the modification. 3.4 Frequency and format of maintenance reporting complies with organisational and statutory requirements.
