6、highest priority to assisting developing countries in enhancing their maritime training capabilities through the provision or improvement of maritime training facilities at national and regional levels. IMO has also responded to the needs of developing countries for postgraduate training for senior

7、personnel in administrations, ports, shipping companies and maritime training institutes by establishing the World Maritime University in Malm, Sweden, in 1983.Following the adoption of the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certifi cation and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW), 1978,

8、 a number of IMO Member Governments suggested that IMO should develop model training courses to assist in the implementation of the Convention and in achieving a more rapid transfer of information and skills regarding new developments in maritime technology. IMO training advisers and consultants als

9、o subsequently determined from their visits to training establishments in developing countries that the provision of model courses could help instructors improve the quality of their existing courses and enhance their implementation of associated Conference and IMO Assembly resolutions.In addition,

10、it was appreciated that a comprehensive set of short model courses in various fi elds of maritime training would supplement the instruction provided by maritime academies and allow administrators and technical specialists already employed in maritime administrations, ports and shipping companies to

11、improve their knowledge and skills in certain specialized fi elds. With the generous assistance of the Government of Norway, IMO developed model courses in response to these generally identifi ed needs and now keeps them updated through a regular revision process, taking into account any amendments

12、to the requirements prescribed in IMO instruments and any technological developments in the fi eld.These model courses may be used by any training institution and, when the requisite fi nancing is available, the Organization is prepared to assist developing countries in implementing any course.E.

15、purpose of the IMO model courses is to assist maritime training institutes and their teaching staff in organizing and introducing new training courses, or in enhancing, updating or supplementing existing training material where the quality and effectiveness of the training courses may thereby be imp

16、roved.It is not the intention of the model course programme to present instructors with a rigid “teaching package” which they are expected to “follow blindly”. Nor is it the intention to substitute audio-visual or “programmed” material for the instructors presence. As in all training endeavours, the

17、 knowledge, skills and dedication of the instructor are the key components in the transfer of knowledge and skills to those being trained through IMO model course material.Because educational systems and the cultural backgrounds of trainees in maritime subjects vary considerably from country to coun

18、try, the model course material has been designed to identify the basic entry requirements and trainee target group for each course in universally applicable terms, and to specify clearly the technical content and levels of knowledge and skill necessary to meet the technical intent of IMO conventions

19、 and related recommendations. Use of the model courseTo use the model course the instructor should review the course outline and detailed syllabus, taking into account the information provided under the entry standards specifi ed in the course frame-work. The actual level of knowledge and skills and

20、 prior technical education of the trainees should be kept in mind during this review, and any areas within the detailed syllabus which may cause diffi culties because of differences between the actual trainee entry level and that assumed by the course designer should be identifi ed. To compensate fo

21、r such differences, the instructor is expected to delete from the course, or reduce the emphasis on, items dealing with knowledge or skills already attained by the trainees. He should also identify any academic knowledge, skills or technical training which they may not have acquired.By analysing the

22、 detailed syllabus and the academic knowledge required to allow training in the technical area to proceed, the instructor can design an appropriate pre-entry course or, alternatively, insert the elements of academic knowledge required to support the technical training elements concerned at appropria

23、te points within the technical course.Adjustment of the course objectives, scope and content may also be necessary if in your maritime industry the trainees completing the course are to undertake duties which differ from the objectives specifi ed.Within the course outline, Part B, the course designe

24、rs have indicated their assessment of the time which should be allotted to each subject area. However, it must be appreciated that these allocations are arbitrary and assume that the trainees have fully met all the entry requirements of the course. The instructor should therefore review these assess

25、ments and may need to reallocate the time required to achieve each specifi c learning objective.CHEMICAL TANKER CARGO AND BALLAST HANDLING SIMULATOR2 Lesson plansHaving adjusted the course content to suit the trainee intake and any revision of the course objectives, the instructor should draw up les

26、son plans based on the detailed syllabus. The detailed syllabus contains specifi c references to the textbooks or teaching material proposed to be used in the course. An example of a lesson plan is included in the instructor manual in most model courses, but in this course, the exercise scenarios su

27、pplied as an appendix to the instructor manual serve this purpose. Where no adjustment has been found necessary in the learning objectives of the detailed syllabus, the lesson plans may simply consist of the detailed syllabus with keywords or other reminders added to assist the instructor in making

28、his presentation of the material. PresentationThe presentation of concepts and methodologies must be repeated in various ways until the instructor is satisfi ed that the trainee has attained each specifi c learning objective. The syllabus is laid out in learning-objective format and each objective s

29、pecifi es what the trainee must be able to do as the learning outcome. Evaluation or assessment of trainee progressThe nature of this course involves all the trainees and the instructors in an ongoing process of individual and group evaluation. ImplementationFor the course to run smoothly and to be

30、effective, considerable attention must be paid to the availability and use of: properly qualifi ed instructors support staff rooms and other spaces equipment textbooks, technical papers and other reference material.Thorough preparation is the key to successful implementation of the course. IMO has p

31、roduced a booklet entitled “Guidance on the implementation of IMO model courses”, which deals with this aspect in greater detail. A copy of this booklet is included as an appendix to this course.3PART A: COURSE FRAMEWORKPart A: Course Framework ScopeThe course is essentially a practical one and cons

32、ists of a series of exercises structured around the operation of the cargo and ballast installation of a chemical tanker and carried out in conjunction with a simulator.The exercises are controlled by an instructor and, initially, allow the trainees to become familiar with the layout of the cargo, b

33、allast and deck tanks forming the system and the instrumentation and controls that are used.The exercises continue with the simulation of the normal procedures and operations for the loading and discharging of cargo, the use of inert gas, ballasting and deballasting, tank cleaning, gas freeing, and,

34、 where the simulator design incorporates it, U-piece, Y-piece and jumper connections. The importance of loading and discharging so as to avoid undue stressing of the hull are introduced at appropriate points of the simulator programme.Each simulator exercise is preceded by a briefi ng lecture and fo

35、llowed up by a group discussion during which the actions and decisions of the trainees are analysed. During the series of exercises the trainees will assume specifi c roles in the cargo or other operation that is being simulated, with one trainee taking the role of the offi cer in charge of the part

36、icular operation being simulated.Note: Offi cers and ratings who are to serve aboard chemical tankers are required by paragraphs 1 and 2 of Regulation V/1 of the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certifi cation and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978 (as amended in 1995) to have approp

37、riate experience aboard operational chemical tankers and to have completed approved shore-based specialized training related to chemical tanker operations. It is not claimed that this course, using simulation of chemical tanker cargo and ballast operations, meets the requirements of paragraphs 1 and

38、 2 of Regulation V/1 of STCW 1978 (as amended in 1995) in respect of service aboard ship and shore-based training.The IMO Model Courses 1.01 and 1.04 have been designed to meet the requirement of Regulation V/1 of STCW 1978, as amended in 1995 in respect of shore-based training; this course, using s

39、imulation, would provide them with relevant support and enhanced learning. ObjectiveThe trainees who successfully complete the course will make a safer and more effective contribution to the operation and control of the cargo and ballast installation of a chemical tanker, which will improve ship saf

40、ety and provide greater protection of the environment.CHEMICAL TANKER CARGO AND BALLAST HANDLING SIMULATOR4In particular, there will be: familiarization with the equipment, instrumentation and controls used for cargo handling on a chemical tanker a greater awareness of the need for proper pre-planni

41、ng, the use of checklists and the time scales involved in the various cargo handling operations an enhanced awareness to apply proper and safe procedures at all times when carrying out the various operations on board a chemical tanker an acquisition of experience in identifying operational problems

42、and solving them an improvement in the ability to make decisions which promote safety and protect the environment. Entry standardsEntry to the course is open to those already holding relevant cargo endorsements (STCW Reg V/1-2) who wish to improve their knowledge and understanding of the operation a

43、nd control of cargo and ballast operations, and other related operations on chemical tankers. The course is not restricted to those certifi ed under STCW Reg II and III. Irrespective of the tanker endorsement criteria applied by different fl ag states, the candidates are expected to have undertaken

44、relevant specialized tanker training courses. Course certifi cate, diploma or documentOn successful completion of this course, a document should be issued confi rming that the holder has completed a short course on chemical tanker cargo and ballast handling using a simulator. Administrations which a

45、pprove such training as satisfying any part of the requirements of Regulation V/1 of STCW 1978 (as amended in 1995) should make an appropriate endorsement to the document. Course intake limitationsThe course intake is regulated by the number of trainees who can utilize the simulator for any given ac

46、tivity. For this reason the maximum number of trainees should normally be twelve. When circumstances demand it, the trainees can be split into two sub-groups of up to six in each group and activities be phased so that all students can receive the same period of training on the simulator.The briefi n

47、g and debriefi ng sessions can be carried out as main group or sub-group activities, according to circumstances.5PART A: COURSE FRAMEWORK Staff requirementsThe instructor shall have appropriate training in instructional techniques and training methods (STCW Code, Section A-I/6). It is recommended th

48、at the instructor in charge of the course should hold a management level certifi cate of competency, and should have experience in the operation and control of cargo-handling operations on a chemical tanker, including the use of inert gas, cargo pumps and tank washing, with training and use of a sim

49、ulator as a training aid. To operate the course successfully, at least one other instructor may be required, preferably with similar qualifi cations and experience as the instructor-in-charge. Teaching facilities and equipmentThe cargo-handling system being simulated by the training installation should be modelled on an authentic cargo-handling system of a modern chemical tanker, including its equipment, instrumentation and centralized cargo operations control centre, taking into account national, international and other requirements relating t
