  7 The training record book should contain, amongst other things, a number of training tasks or duties which should be undertaken as part of the approved programme of onboard training. Such tasks and duties should relate to at least the following areas:

  • .1 steering systems;

  • .2 general seamanship;

  • .3 mooring, anchoring and port operations;

  • .4 life-saving and fire-fighting appliances;

  • .5 systems and equipment;

  • .6 cargo work;

  • .7 bridge work and watchkeeping; and

  • .8 engine-room familiarization.

  8 It is extremely important that the prospective officer is given adequate opportunity for supervised bridge watchkeeping experience, particularly in the later stages of the onboard training programme.

  9 The performance of the prospective officers in each of the tasks and duties itemized in the training record book should be initialled by a qualified officer when, in the opinion of the officer concerned, a prospective officer has achieved a satisfactory standard of proficiency. It is important to appreciate that a prospective officer may need to demonstrate ability on several occasions before a qualified officer is confident that a satisfactory standard has been achieved.
