RATINGS FORMING PART OF A WATCH IN A MANNED ENGINE-ROOM OR DESIGNATED TO PERFORM DUTIES IN A PERIODICALLY UNMANNED ENGINE-ROOM — IMO MODEL C

This syllabus covers the requirements of Chapter III of the STCW Convention and Section A-III/4 of the STCW Code. This functional element provides the detailed knowledge to support the training outcomes related to Marine Engineering at the Support Level. It offers the background knowledge and practical work to help maintain a safe engineering watch, communicate with the officer of the watch, and use internal communication systems.

The course is mainly for candidates seeking certification as ratings forming part of an engine-room watch on a manned engine room, or for those with a designated duty to perform duties in a periodically unmanned engine room. Those entering this course should be enrolled in an approved onboard training program.

Marine Engineering at the Support Level means carrying out a watch routine appropriate to the duties of a rating in an engine-room watch, understanding orders and being understood in matters relevant to watchkeeping duties, and meeting the minimum standard of Maritime English at the Elementary Level (reference to IMO Model Course 3.17) to understand orders and communicate with the officer of the watch on watchkeeping matters.
