If a new assistant engineer reports onboard, ideally, who should conduct the familiarization training specific and relevant to the engineer's routine maintenance and watchkeeping duties?
ā¢ STCW requirements for familiarization and training of new officers ā¢ The chief engineerās overall responsibility for engine department operations and safety ā¢ Who usually has the most direct authority and oversight over an assistant engineerās specific duties
ā¢ Which officer is ultimately responsible for the safe and efficient operation of the entire engine department? ā¢ Who is in the best position to ensure the new assistantās familiarization is specific to their watchkeeping and maintenance duties, not just general shipboard topics? ā¢ Is there a difference between a designated training officer for general ship induction and the person responsible for technical/department-specific familiarization?
ā¢ Verify which officer has departmental command over all engineering staff ā¢ Consider who is responsible under STCW and company procedures for assigning and overseeing watchkeeping duties in the engine room ā¢ Distinguish between general shipboard training and roleāspecific engineering familiarization
