Training of MOUs personnel (including MODU’s personnel)
STCW and IMO
Resol
A 1079Slide2
Origin of IMO resolution
For the
«
small
»
history
,
within
the
extraordinary
development
of the OFFSHORE INDUSTRY, the intention of the IMO
was
initially
to
develop
a convention of training and certification for
our
personnel (STCW-OFFSHORE).
The profession
pled
that
an
obligatory
training and certification
would
be
difficult
to
apply
since
it
must, by
contract
, to
employ
local personnel…
which
has the
characteristic
to
be
very
"volatile".
Slide3
OriginIn replacement it
was
studied
a
resolution
which
, if
it
is
not
obligatory
strictly
speaking
,
nevertheless
is
strongly
recommended
and made
mandatory
by
many
flags ( U.K., LIBERIA,
Bahamas,NEDERLANDS
etc….).
Issued
in 1999, the first
recommendations
(
Resol
A 891) for training of Personnel on
MOUs
h
ave
been
applied
for
almost
15
years
Today
a new
resolution
(A
1079)
has been
issued
in 2014 and have
added
some
recommendations
for
security
awareness
and certificationSlide4
Something new compare to A 891New
definitions
for:
Certificate
of
competence
(COC)
and
certificate
of
proficiency
(COP) for
offshore personnel in
conformity
with
this
new
Resolution
ISPS code as
it
is
and
associated
assignment
as SSO and CSO
A new
personage
appears
the PIC (
person
in charge)
which
clarify
the
position
in
charge on
board
between
the OIM and the MasterSlide5
Some important definitionsCompany
is
the
entity
responsible
for the
operations
of the MOU and
so
has
agreed
to
take
over all the
duties
and
responsibilities
imposed
by the
present
recommendations
They
are
only
recommendations
; but the client
can
impose
it
in
your
contractSlide6
Definition for UNITsMOU (Mobile Offshore Unit)
means
a
vessel
able to
perform
offshore
operations
other
than
carried
out by normal
vessels
The MODU
is
one of
them
specialized
in
drillingSlide7
Same categories of personnel
Category
A
:
visitors
&
special
personnel
staying
no more
than
3
days
on
board
the MOU
Category
B
:
Special
Personnel
without
responsibilities
for
safety
,
security
and
survival
of
others
Category
C
:
Regularly
assigned
special
personnel
with
responsibilities
to
safety
,
security
and
survival
of
others
Category
D
: maritime
crew
(
includes
OIM, BS, MS, BCO,
deck
&
engine
officers
, radio
operator
and
seafarers
ratings)Slide8
Crew: Still two main categories
Maritime
crew
(offshore personnel
category
D)
who
has to
conform
to STCW convention
Offshore personnel (
categories
A, B and C)
who
has to
conform
with
the
present
resolutionSlide9
Category AVisitors or personnel staying
no more
than
3
days
on
board
the MODU
Needing
an induction training on
arrival
on the MODU and
renewed
when
necessary
(
company
decision
) Slide10
Induction meetingGenerally carried out
at
the
desembarking
from
the
helicopter
in
a
specific
room:
Consists
of a
video
demonstration
and
visit
on site
The
Safey
Officer
is
in charge and
ensure
issuance
of COP,
recording
and revalidation (5
years
) -
Warning
:
this
training
familiarization
course
is
now
often
requiring
an
approval
from
the FlagSlide11
Familiarisation training and instructionFor personnel BCD working on
board
the MOU
should
receive
offshore orientation &
safety
familiarization
training & instruction
including
security
renewed
every
5
years
Can
be
carried
out
a
shore
with
particularities
of the MOU
COP
is
issuedSlide12
Security awareness trainingAll personnel (B, C
, D)
every
five
y
ears
must
receive
security
awareness
training STCW VI/6-1 (ISPS code)
.A
COP
is
provided
; Slide13
In addition for regularly personnel BCDPersonnel
without
responsibilities
in
safety
of
others
,
s
hould
receive
should
receive
specific
training in
survival
,
firefighting
, first
aid
,
personal
safety
and social
responsibility
and
security
awareness
, use of drills
etc
…
this
is
similar
to the BST of STCW for all
seafarers
This
traininig
is
provided
preferably
ashore
or on
board
and personnel
should
hold
a COP or
equivalent
Slide14
Standard of proficiencyDespite the corresponding content in STCW BST
Resolution
1079
present
the contents of all
these
minimum standard of
proficiency
for the
MODU’s
personnel in tables
with
methods
for
evaluating
competenciesSlide15
Personnel with assigned duties on the
muster
list
This personnel
(
C &D)
should
hold
generally
STCW
(VI/2, VI/4 & VI/6-2) or
COP
corresponding
certificates
valid
5
years
max
NB all
these
training are
similar
to
those
of STCW
from
BST and
specific
trainings
+ HLO training
and
dynamic
positionning
for DPO (
see
our
extra
presentation
P3 IMCA) Slide16
KEY PERSONNELDepending of the specilization of the MOU,
key
personnel
may
need
specialized
training
decided
by the flag
For personnel holding STCW
certificates
, a
specific
list
of
additional
training
is
recommended
:Slide17
KEY PERSONNEL what is it ?
OIM
OFFSHORE INSTALLATION MANAGER :
person
appointed
to
be
in charge of offshore
operations
BS
Barge
supervisor
:
giving
support to the OIM for marine
matters
can
be
the barge master
MS
Maintenance
supervisor
:
responsible
for
operation
and maintenance of all
machinery
and
equipment
‘
chief
engineerSlide18
Other key personnel
BCO
Ballast Control
Operator
on
column
stabilized
MOU
PIC
Person in Charge
responsible
in an emergency (NB
typical
in the Offshore
industry
)
can
be
the Master or the OIM
Tendency
today
is
to
nominate
only
the
Master
as the PICSlide19
The PIC: Master or OIM ?In fact
there
are
two
things
which
are not compatible
with
ISM code: The Master has the
overall
responsibility
for
safety
and
security
The code
does
not
expect
to have an OIM
responsible
of the MODU
when
all
operations
are
going
well
and a MASTER
responsible
when
rhere
is
an emergency …
Crazy
situation
which
have been
highlighted
as one of the cause of DWH
diasaterSlide20
Training of key personnel of MOUThe
resolution
define
the training
necessary
for
key
personnel over
two
conditions: holding a
suitable
STCW
officer
certificate
or not
This
is
quite
logic
STCW
officers
must know the offshore
operation
part
Offshore
key
personnel must know the marine
officer
part Slide21
Example of training required for OIM of Offshore originConstruction and stability
of a
floating
unit
Marine
regulations
in case of transit-
Meteorology
Mooring
/DP: station
keeping
,
anchor
recovery
Emergencies/
safety
and
security
of the MOU:
crisis
management/
crowd
control
Dangerous
goods
and
safe
working
practices
Handle
of
transfers
or
loading
of
equipmentSlide22
For BS or BCOStability is an important
academic
knowledge
for
them
also
especially
for the ballast
operator
(
remember
the P 36 accident in 2001)
From
my
experience
as a consultant for ISM
implementation
and
stability
teacher
: I
realised
the important gap
between
offshore personnel and marine personnel in
matter
of
stability
even
of a
ship
)Slide23
For personnel with STCW certificatesFor the different
functions
as:
OIM, a Master or
chief
mate must
follow
a
specific
training course on
well
contraol
and MOU
specific
stability
For BS or BCO the
same
officers
must
complete
a MOU
stability
course
All training courses to
be
approved
by the flag administrationSlide24
More information in the Resolution A 1079Fitness for
duty
Guidance on drills and
exercisesSlide25
FITNESS for DUTYFlag Administration must take the following
into
account
before
issuing
The MODU or MOU
certificate
:
Competence
of
watch
keepers
and
medical
standard
Prevention
of
drug
and
alcohol
abuse
Management of
rest
hours
(10hrs a
day
) and
prevention
of fatigueSlide26
Drills & exercisesThe resolution
includes
a
very
interesting
chapter
on drills and
exercises
on
board
offshore
MOUs
NB
these
guidance
could
be
used
,
when
adapted
, on all
ships
A programme of drills &
exercises
following
this
guidance
should
be
included
in the
preparation
system to
respond
to emergencies (ISM§ 8)Slide27
Planning of drillsThe programme must include:Realistic
drills as
much
as possible
Routine drills
Periodicity
covering
all possible emergencies
Recording
of
activities
and
follow
up
Periodical
a
ssessment
of
individual
competence
Slide28
IN conclusionThe OFFSHORE INDUSTRY has evolved
very
much
in the
past
years
and uses
today
mobile
floating
units
of
various
types:
Drilling
ships
, semi (
platforms
), self
propelled
barges
with
dynamic
positioning
and
being
able to move by
themselves
from
a
work
place to
another
one but
also
on long distances. Slide29
MODU are treated differently in maritime
regulation
ISM & ISPS
For construction and
operations
you
have the MODU code (79 or
89 and
today
2009)
MODUs
are
included
in ISM and ISPS
codes; But
not the
MOUs
!
It
is
common
to-
day
to
see
the self-
Propelled
MOUs
are
following
the MODU
code and ISM/ISPS codes!Slide30
SITUATION TO-DAYFrom
the point of
view
of maritime
crew
’
s
mandatory
certificates
these
units
are
regarded
as
ships
and
thus
, the
STCW convention
applies
.
These
units
are
thus
manned
with
a STCW 95 maritime
crew
which
acquired
a
complementary
offshore
specialization
in
specialized
centers
like
ABERDEEN or ROTTERDAM or LESCAR
in FRANCESlide31
STCW 2010 have a small § on MOUs
In the part B- V/d and
it
is
very
clear
:
Difference
is
specified
between
non self-
propelled
and
MOUs
on station or on voyages
MOUs
on station are
subjected
to the national
legislation
of the
coastal
state in
whose
Exclusive
Econiomic
Zone (EEZ)
they
are operating
Such
coastal
states
should
also
take
account
of relevant IMO
recommendations
and
should
not
prescribe
higher
standards for
MOUs
registerd
in
other
countriesSlide32
STCW 2010Give also
some
recommendations
on
knowledge
of
crews
on
anchor-handling
supply
vessels
operations
And on personnel operating
Dynamic
positionning
systemsSlide33
FPSOs and FSUsThese
units
have a flag
so
Flag States and
Coastal
states
should
cooperate
with
a
view
to
ensuring
the
compliance
of
FPSOs
/
FSUs
with
applicable international standards on maritime
safety
, marine
environment
protection,
enforcement
and control
measures
such
as
surveys
and certification, maritime
search
and
rescue
,
casualty
investigation and emergency
responseSlide34
Sovereign rights of coastal state
The
rights
of the
safety
regime
for
FPSOs
and
FSUs
Are on non-
disconettable
units
which
are
designated
to
be
permanently
moored
as
without
mechanical
means
to move
under
their
own
propulsion
On
a
lso
disconnectable
self or non self
propelled
units
when
operationg
on sitesSlide35
Principle of applicationWhile
compliance
on all IMO standards and
industry
guidelines
contributes
to
safety
,
pragmatic
approach
should
be
used
when
these
units
on location or not.
On location
SOLAS, STCW do not
apply
when
MARPOL
Annex
1
apply
so
it
is
recommended
that
an
approved
safety
management system as
required
by the ISM code
should
apply
Off location,
a self-
propelled
FPSO or FSU
will
have to
comply
to SOLAS,
and the ISM code
apply
again
in addition of MARPOLSlide36
So finallyWhile the ISPS code has been considered
necessary
for FPSO and FSU as
well
as an emergency
response
system on
board
The solution
is
in
applying
ISM, ISPS codes and
appropriate
corresponding
guidelines
