11 Operator Standards of Training, Competence & Watchkeeping


11.1 Objective


The objective of this Chapter is to provide guidance on the required training qualifications for identified roles within a MASS operating organisation for classes of MASS and operating Level of Control.


11.2 Scope


11.2.1 The aim of this Chapter of the Code is to establish pan industry agreement on skill and competency requirements for MASS operation in advance of and alongside the establishment of governing regulations. However, operators should demonstrate a clear understanding of the relevant extant IMO instruments (COLREGs, SOLAS, MARPOL and STCW).


11.2.2 This Chapter sets out to identify the principles and considerations to be given to the skills and competencies re- quired to operate MASS safely.


11.2.3 Skill and competency levels and team size for specific MASS operation should be defined in a Safe Operating Plan equivalent to the IMO Resolution A.1047(27) - Principles of Minimum Safe Manning. Paragraph 1.4 of Annex 2 (Guidelines for Determination of Minimum Safe Manning) states that, in determining the minimum safe manning of a ship, consideration should also be given to the number of qualified and other personnel required to meet peak workload situations and conditions, with due regard to the number of hours of shipboard duties and rest periods assigned to seafarers.


11.2.4 It is recommended that the organisation should produce a “Safe Manning Guide” similar to that required in the MCA Publication “A Master’s Guide to the UK Flag”.


11.3 General Principles


11.3.1 The UK Maritime Autonomous Systems (Surface) (MAS(S)) Code of Conduct sets out a clear Industry Principle for Training and Development:


n The Industry will ensure the appropriate level of training and certification for all MASS operational staff to meet their Safe Operating Plan. It will enable staff development and the sharing of best practice through professional maritime bodies;


n MASS operational Staff should be trained and certified to at least the same recognised Flag State Authority or national equivalent standards, to a level equivalent to that appropriate for a similar manned vessel;


n Companies within the Industry will have staff development processes in place to capture and progress skill generation.


11.3.2 It is important that training is provided to the appropriate recognised standards by an external and accredited organisation or other competent authority.
