Introduction:

1 The Maritime Safety Committee, at its ninety-fourth session (MSC 94), adopted the International Code for Ships Operating in Polar Waters (Polar Code), which cameinto effect on 1 January 2017 upon entry into force of the new chapter XIV of the SOLAS Convention.

2 The Maritime Safety Committee, at its ninety-seventh session (MSC 97) adopted amendments to the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watch keeping for Seafarers (STCW), 1978, as amended, and the STCW Code, related to the Polar Code.These new STCW amendments will take effect on 1 July, 2018.
3 The application framework for manning and training requirements for the master, chief mate and officers in charge of a navigational watch on board ships operating in polar watersis defined under the Polar Code, and the contents of basic and advanced training requirements are defined in the STCW Convention and Code.
4 Coinciding with the DGS Circular No. 02 of 2018 ““Transitional provisions for Certification of Masters and deck officers on ships operating in polar waters including assessment of Sea service performed on board Ships operating in Polar waters or Other Equivalent towards issuance of certificate for Advanced training for continuing seagoing service on board ships operating in Polar waters.”, Director General of Shipping, GOI, the designated Indian Maritime Administration, for the purpose, inter-alia, has formulated the following Guidelines for the conduct of the “Advanced Training for Ships Operating in Polar waters” Courses as profiled in the enclosure at Annexure – I and 2.

5 The ID no assigned for the“Advanced training for ships operating in Polar waters” Course is XXX. The duration of this course is 30 hours (5 days) and the frequency of the course shall not exceed 48 in a calendar year.

6Any training institute, eligible to conduct this course in accordance with DGS Order 5 of 2016 and is in compliance with the following criteria will be eligible to apply for the conduct of this course along with a prescribed processing fee of Rs. 50,000/-.

ANNEXURE - 1

GUIDELINES
ADVANCED TRAININGFOR SHIPS OPERATING IN POLAR WATERS

Course

AIMS

This course provides training to navigation officers to operate ships in polar waters and to address those additional provisions deemed necessary for consideration beyond existing requirements of the SOLAS and MARPOL Conventions, in order to take into account the climatic conditions of polar waters and to meet appropriate standards of maritime safety and pollution prevention.
The course is designed to meet the Mandatory minimum STCW requirements for the training and qualifications of masters and deck officers on ships operating in polar waters, specifically as these apply to Tables A-V/4-2 "Specification of minimum standard of competence in advanced training for ships operating in polar waters".

This course is also designed to meet the requirements of IMO Model 7.12.

OBJECTIVES

A trainee successfully completing this course will gain:

The Understanding of the basic requirements for structure, stability and subdivision, machinery, life-saving appliances, fire protection, voyage planning, ship routing, navigation systems and equipment, radio communication, pollution prevention equipment, liability and safety management systems, as applicable to the different types and sizes of ships which may undertake voyages in polar waters;
The ability to contribute to safe operation of vessels operating in polar waters;
- Understanding of ice characteristics and areas where different types of ice can be expected in the area of operation;
- Understanding of vessel performance in ice and low air temperature;
- Understanding of safe operations and ship manoeuvrability in ice;
Awareness to monitor and ensure compliance with legislative requirements;
Understanding to apply safe working practices and to respond to emergencies;
- Understanding and awareness of correct crew preparation, working conditions and safety;
Understanding the need to ensure compliance with pollution- prevention requirements and prevent environmental hazards; and
Understanding skills to perform makeovers in order to safely operate ships in polar waters.

The standards expressed in the Guidelines have been developed to mitigate the additional risk imposed on shipping due to the harsh environmental and climatic conditions existing in polar waters.

COURSE CERTIFICATE

Documentary evidence in the form of a Course Certificate, the format of which is appended at the end of this Annexure shall be issued by the DGS approved maritime training institute to all trainees who have successfully completed the DGS approved “Advanced training for ships operating in Polar waters” Course.

ENTRY STANDARDS

Every candidate for a certificate in advanced training for ships operating in polar waters shall hold a certificate as Master, chief mate or officer in charge of a navigation watch qualified in accordance with regulations II/1, II/2 and II/3 respectively of the STCW Convention and issued or recognised by Government of India,

And

Meet the requirements for certification in “Basic training for ships in polar waters”;

And

Have at least two (2) months of approved seagoing service in the deck department, at management level or while performing watchkeeping duties at the operational level, within polar waters or other equivalent approved seagoing service.

REQUIRED ATTENDANCE

100% attendance is compulsory. If the attendance of the trainee is less than 100%, the trainee shall be required to undertake training in the same module (s) of the course in any subsequent batches, within 3 months to qualify for attendance and re-assessment. If a trainee is absent for more than one day, he needs to repeat the entire course.

COURSE INTAKE LIMITATIONS

The course intake is limited to a maximum of 8 trainees. The maximum trainee - instructor ratio shall be 8 to 1 for classroom lectures and 4 to 1 for simulation sessions. For simulation session, trainees shall be divided into two bridge teams of maximum 4 trainees each. Depending on the facilities provided, one team would be carrying out an exercise while the other is being lectured, debriefed or planning the next exercise.

DETAILED TEACHING SYLLABUS

The detailed teaching syllabus has been written in learning objective format in which the objective describes what the trainee should do to demonstrate that knowledge has been transferred. All objectives are understood to be prefixed by the words, "The expected learning outcome is that the trainee…"
Before commencing with instruction on the detailed teaching syllabus, there shall be a course overview to introduce the learning objectives and main topics to the trainees.
In order to assist the instructor, reference publications are shown against the learning objectives in addition technical material and teaching aids, which the instructor may wish to use when preparing course material.
The material listed in the course framework has been used to structure the detailed teaching syllabus; in particular, teaching aids (indicated by A) and references (indicated by B, R, T or E) will provide valuable information to instructors. A description of the teaching material is listed at the end of Part A (Course Framework) of this document.
To assist in identifying how each detailed learning objective is related to Table A-V/4-2 of the STCW Code, a Compliance Table is provided following the detailed teaching syllabus. The Compliance Table demonstrates how each knowledge, understanding and proficiency (KUP) in Table A-V/4-2 is supported by a number of related learning objectives which the trainee is required to learn.

Note

Throughout the course, safe working practices are to be clearly defined and emphasized with reference to current international requirements and regulations.

It is expected that the institution implementing the course will insert references to national and/or regional requirements and regulations as necessary.
