Command the Operation of a Survival Craft - Twin Davit

The Command the Operation of a Survival Craft – Twin Davit course gives learners the practical skills to take command of a Totally Enclosed Motor Propelled Survival Craft (TEMPSC) launched and lowered by twin davit system, during the evacuation of an offshore facility or vessel. It covers how to control the muster, conduct organised TEMPSC deployment, provide leadership during launch and onboard the craft, control hazards arising from the abandonment, and respond to problems before, during and after launch in accordance with maritime regulatory requirements and workplace procedures.

Commanding the operation of a survival craft is a specialist maritime emergency response capability required across maritime and offshore industries, where personnel may be required to take leadership of a TEMPSC during the evacuation of an offshore facility or vessel in marine emergency conditions. The 2-day Command the Operation of a Survival Craft – Twin Davit (COSC_TWIN) course delivered at ERGT Australia provides learners with the practical knowledge and hands-on experience required to command the launch and operation of a twin davit TEMPSC. Designed for seafarers, offshore personnel and shipboard crew in Maritime, Offshore Oil and Gas, and Resource sectors where twin davit-launched lifeboats are installed on vessels or facilities, this course focuses on muster control, pre-launch checks and crew briefings, twin davit launch and lowering procedures, post-launch manoeuvring and navigation, command and welfare of personnel onboard, hazard control, and recovery procedures in accordance with maritime regulatory requirements.

Through a combination of facilitator-led learning and practical training on a twin davit-launched TEMPSC in a simulated marine environment, learners will build the confidence and capability to take command of a twin davit-launched survival craft, lead a crew during launch and lowering, manage hazards and emergencies arising from the abandonment, and prepare craft and personnel for safe recovery in line with industry best practice. Upon successful completion, learners will be job-ready to command the operation of a twin davit-launched TEMPSC during marine emergency response.
