(latest NCVER data)Commercial vessels stay seaworthy through a steady routine of machinery checks, surface preparation, painting and safe stowage of tools. MARB053 Assist with routine maintenance on a commercial vessel focuses on carrying out that work under the direction of the Master or Engineer, and RTOs delivering General Purpose Hand training can structure it with MARB053 learning materials built around shipboard procedures.
Learners develop skills in preparing work schedules, selecting and inspecting PPE, tools and electrical appliances, preparing cleaning agents and chemicals, barricading work areas, carrying out routine machinery maintenance, preparing and painting surfaces and stowing equipment and disposing of waste.
Equip trainers with our MARB053 RTO training materials rather than drafting vessel maintenance tasks and checklists internally. Purchase RTO materials and use MARB053 training resources prepared for practical deck and engine room work.
These MARB053 training resources provide a prepared foundation for assisting with routine maintenance on a commercial vessel. Purchase RTO materials and give trainers MARB053 training materials organised around preparation, maintenance and stowage tasks.
Check the latest unit requirements on training.gov.au before delivery. Your team should contextualise and validate these MARB053 training materials for its learner cohort, delivery model and selected compliance environment. Use the supplied mapping as a starting point when reviewing your MARB053 materials against the Standards for RTOs.
MARB053 Assist with routine maintenance on a commercial vessel covers carrying out routine maintenance on a commercial vessel, including setting up equipment, maintaining machinery, preparing and painting surfaces and storing tools. It applies to people in the maritime industry working as a General Purpose Hand under the general supervision of the Master or Engineer.
The unit addresses five core areas:
This unit is one of the requirements for AMSA certification as a General Purpose Hand Near Coastal under Marine Order 505. The resources support delivery of the unit, but learners seeking certification should check current requirements with AMSA.
Learners need access to a commercial vessel or a realistic simulated environment with vessel machinery, hand and power tools, paints and PPE. Your team should confirm these facilities before scheduling assessment.
Yes. The editable files allow your team to add vessel-specific machinery, SMS procedures and maintenance schedules where contextualisation is permitted.
No. They are developed as compliant learning resources with the training package in mind, but your organisation remains responsible for validating them before delivery.
Yes. Free samples let your team check structure and presentation before purchase.
