OUPV TO MASTER 100 TON COURSE OUTLINE 1.1 Master (Captain) and Mate 100 ton or less MMD Requirements: A license as Master 100 ton or less is required to operate inspected vessels carrying more than six passengers for hire. This is the most

5 KENNEDY POINT MARITIME SCHOOL UPGRADE OUPV TO MASTER 100 TONS, KENPNT common MMD endorsement held by charter boat captains and the captains of small crew boats, supply boats, oil spill recovery vessels and small passenger vessels. The endorsement is issued with: Tonnage limitations of 25, 50 or 100 depending on the qualifying experience of the applicant Either an inland, near coastal or oceans route. Master authorizes the mariner to serve as captain or mate on any inspected vessel within the limitations on the endorsement or as the Operator of Uninspected Passenger Vessels (OUPV). Mate authorizes the mariner to serve as second captain on any inspected vessel within the limitations on the endorsement or as OUPV. A mate or second captain is required on vessels operating more than twelve hours a day. 1.3 An Inland Route: includes all inland waters of the US. A Master 100 ton or less with an inland route requires 360 days of qualifying sea service experience on the deck of power-driven vessels. A Mate 100 ton or less with an inland route requires 180 days of qualifying experience on the deck of power-driven vessels. 1.4 A Near Coastal Route: includes all inland waters of the US and all ocean waters within 200 miles of the US coastline. A Master 100 ton or less with a near coastal route requires 720 days of qualifying sea service experience on the deck of powerdriven vessels; at least 360 days of the qualifying experience must have been on ocean waters. A Mate 100 tons or less with a near coastal route requires 360 days of qualifying sea service experience on the deck of powerdriven vessels; at least 180 days of the qualifying experience must have been on ocean waters. 1.5 Tonnage Limitations: Tonnage limitations are based on the size of vessels that applicants qualifying experience was on. A 25 ton limitation will be issued if all the qualifying experience was on state registered vessels of less than 5 gross tons (GRT). A 50 ton limitation will be issued if any of the qualifying experience was on documented vessels of greater than 5 gross tons. A 100 ton limitation will be issued if either 50% or more of the qualifying experience was on documented vessels greater than 34 gross tons or at least 25% of the qualifying experience was on documented vessels of greater than 50 gross tons.

6 6 Upgrading from Mate to Master or increasing the tonnage limitation to 100 tons can be accomplished by sea service experience alone, no additional exams or training is required. 1.6 Related Classes: USCG approval: Any applicant who has successfully completes the Upgrade OUPV to Master 100 Tons course and presents this Certificate of Training within one year of the completion of training, will satisfy all the examination requirements for upgrading of a merchant mariner credential from OUPV Near Coastal, or Great Lakes and Inland, or Inland Waters to a credential of Master or Mate of not more than 100 gross registered tons upon Near Coastal, or Great Lakes & Inland, or Inland Waters; OR, increase the scope of a credential of Master or Mate of not more than 100 gross registered tons upon Great Lakes and Inland, or Inland Waters to Master or Mate of not more than 100 gross registered tons upon Near Coastal Waters. The course completion certificate issued upon successful completion of this course is valid for one year from the date of issuance of an endorsement(s). 2.0 Small Passenger Vessels: T- Boats: Vessels that carry over 6 but less than 150 passengers are classified as T or Subchapter T boats. Their master must hold a Master's license of the correct tonnage/area (25, 50, 100, 150 or 200 Tons, (see vessel operator license requirements in a later post), the vessel must meet the subchapter T (46CFR175 to 185) requirements, and must be inspected and recertified every year. These vessels must have a current certificate of inspection (COI) prominently posted where it is clearly visible to the passengers. As a passenger the COI is your assurance that the vessel meets the Coast Guard safety criteria. T- boats must have bilge pumps, and similar safety equipment (see equipment and requirements for vessels) not required on six pack boats. Almost all T- boats must have at least one deckhand in addition to the master to help safely handle the boat and its passengers. There are minimum crew training requirements (training foe vessel crew in a later post) in areas like fire and man overboard recovery. K - Boats: Vessels that carry more than 149 passengers or more than 49 passengers on overnight voyages are classified as K or Subchapter K boats. Their master must hold a master's license (see vessel operator license requirements in a later post) of the appropriate tonnage/area. These vessels must meet still more stringent equipment requirements ( see 46CFR114 to 122) like redundant bilge and fire pumps, no wooden hulls or superstructure, and must have a Mate or Senior Deckhand (see deckhand requirements) capable of getting the vessel safely back to the dock if the master is incapacitated. K- Boats and above must also have an approved vessel and facility security plan and conduct security training, drills, and exercises. On these vessels, on a certain percentage cruises all

7 KENNEDY POINT MARITIME SCHOOL UPGRADE OUPV TO MASTER 100 TONS, KENPNT boarding passengers must be screened prior to being allowed aboard the vessel. There are other security procedures that must be followed including restricted areas on the vessel and/or facility. K- Boats generally range from 300 to 500 passengers. Again there is not much justification for a 160 passenger boat under United States rules.

Boatswain deck hand is in charge of each station either life boat or fire fighting fire extinguishers 3.1 Watch-Keeping: Watch-keeping in nautical terms concerns the division of qualified personnel to operate a ship continuously. Safe navigation means keeping the vessel on course and away from dangers as well as collision avoidance from other shipping. Engineering specialist ensures that running machinery continues to operate within tolerances. 3.2 Elements of Voyage Planning: Dinner Ship Sight Seeing Dive Operations Voyage planning Chart out course and speed Account for tide, drift and currents Notice to Mariners updates with charts (2 weeks) A notice to mariners advises mariners of important matters affecting navigational safety, including new hydrographic information, changes in channels and aids to navigation, and other important data. (posted speed in channel listed on chart). Layout course and speed all chart work On paper charts until 2014, then can be electronic charts Turning basins turn diameters - usually calculated in yards Design a check list for all operations Example Indian River Queen Eco-Tours sight-seeing Cruising Sailboat No 1 each person serving on a ship has duties, that person must take responsibility to insure that these duties are performed properly. This is accomplished through the development of operational plans, safety plans, and training. 4.0 Placards: All ship placards displayed in appropriate areas of the ship Life jacket placards Life ring man overboard ring usage placards Lifeboat placards with duty stations Fire fighting placards duty stations Duty Station placards with name assignments Work Station assignment Placards name of title assignments Station Bill muster list

Halon systems Place fire on leeward side of ship shield the fire Slow down to avoid fanning the fire. Be careful how much water you put into the ship- use mist and how high the fire is in the ship. Do stability calculations for CG, CB, only use steam on fires, dry chemicals, etc. Water from fire fighting can flip the ship over example Ill De France New York.

Determination of Final Grade: Each Student must tie a bow-line and a short splice. Each student must do a 70 point exam covering each area of the exam material. 1 Test of 70 questions will be given. Each question counts 1.43% towards the 70%. 49 correct answers are required to pass the exam with a score of 70. Re-test Procedures: Following necessary remediation, the student will be offered the opportunity to re-test the entire exam. There are 3 exams written for this class, the student will be given one of the other two exams that he/she has not taken previously. If the student fails the second time, then the student will be required to sit through the entire course again, at no additional cost to the student, upon subsequently passing the exam the student will be awarded a completion certificate. Course Evaluation: Student course evaluations must be given to all students to evaluate the instructors and the course. A copy of the student course evaluation form is provided below. The course evaluation from is used to determine if adjustments in training are necessary.
