harvesting vessels
Level
3
Credits
7
Purpose
People credited with this unit standard are able to: describe information
displays aboard seafood harvesting vessels; use information displayed
aboard seafood harvesting vessels to establish the position and heading of
the vessel; and calculate future vessel position at a given time, and estimate
the time of arrival at a given position, Fishing Management Area boundary, or
territorial limit using information from information displays aboard seafood
harvesting vessels.
This unit standard is intended for the use of people such as company
representatives and fisheries observers who need an accurate assessment
of catch progress and vessel position. Holding this unit standard does not
indicate competence in either fish finding or navigation.

Please note
Providers must be accredited by NZQA, or an inter-institutional body with delegated
authority for quality assurance, before they can report credits from assessment against
unit standards or deliver courses of study leading to that assessment.
Industry Training Organisations must be accredited by NZQA before they can register
credits from assessment against unit standards.
Accredited providers and Industry Training Organisations assessing against unit standards
must engage with the moderation system that applies to those standards.
Accreditation requirements and an outline of the moderation system that applies to this
standard are outlined in the Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP). The
AMAP also includes useful information about special requirements for organisations
