  1. Developments in Passenger Tender Crew Training Jim Cunningham

  2. Aims • To provide a background in the requirement for tender operations onboard. • To compare vessel and tender development. • To outline current STCW training requirements. • To highlight the potential for STCW modification to include tender training.

  3. Background to Tender Ops • Used to transport passengers to shore. • Variable size & design of tenders. • Exposed location of operations • Frequency of operations. • Variations in Passenger age, abilities and numbers. • Operational considerations.

  4. Example of Tender Ops

  5. Accident Statistics

  6. Recent Accidents / Incidents • Thomson Celebration (2006) • MV Athena (2009)

  7. Progression of Tender Training • September 2006 – Fatal accident onboard Thomson Celebration focuses industry attention on tender operations & training. • June 2007 – MAIB publishes report on investigation of the accident. • February 2008 – MSC 84/22/8 submitted by United Kingdom and IACS • March 2008 - CLIA responds to MSC 84/22/8. • Future?

  8. Current Safety Training Requirements • Proficiency in Survival Craft and Rescue Boats Course: • Centred on abandonment. • No consideration for anti-collision. • Variable pre-requisite experience. • Little boat handling/navigation. • Conducted in 30 hours. • Single hull boats at 6 knots.

  9. CLIA Guidance for Tender Training • Instruction in crowd management Launch and Recovery. • Technical Knowledge and Pollution Control. • Basic Navigation including collision regulations and coastal piloting as appropriate for the operation. • Communications. • Manoeuvring/Boat Handling. • Passenger Control. • Response to Emergencies.

  10. WMA Tender Operations Course • All training conducted onboard utilising ships equipment. • Training scheduled around operational commitments. • Delegates required to have prior experience before course commencement. • Emphasis on skill consolidation and development.

  11. Amendments to STCW Code • STCW should be amended to include new section ‘Proficiency in Tender Operations’. • Most operators already conduct similar in-house training but … • Standardisation through STCW would establish international consistency in the training (especially for Non CLIA members). • Would not hamper development of different training methods.

  12. Benefits of Requirements • Audited by flag state/PSC. • Encourages regular onboard training & refreshers. • Standards transferable across industry. • Assessed by independent assessor. • Provides additional practice in the use of equipment.
