Annex

1 Preamble

Recommendations for qualification and certification of officers on a WIG craft were developed taking into account the unique features of this new means of transport, combining ship and aircraft features. The understanding of such unique complexity of a WIG craft was needed to use different combinations of maritime and aviation qualifications and relevant knowledge, skills and training methods. Since WIG craft operate mainly in marine environment, officers have to be provided with knowledge, skills and training, equivalent to those established in the STCW Convention for officers on conventional ships.

These recommendations are intended to assist Member governments to develop their national requirements for qualification and certification of officers on a WIG craft operating in both displacement and ground-effect modes.

2 General Principles, Recommendations And Requirements For Qualification Of Officers

 

.1 Officers on a WIG craft should preferably have a base qualification attained under either the international maritime or aviation qualification systems.

.2 In addition to the base qualification, officers on a WIG craft should undertake training and have demonstrated appropriate knowledge and skills in accordance with these Recommendations, to the satisfaction of the Administration or a body authorized to act on behalf of the Administration.

.3 Completion of these requirements should be signified by issue of a special qualification which takes into account the particular features of a WIG craft, in general and specifically the WIG craft models for which the officer is type-rated, together with any geographic limitations on the officers operation of a WIG craft.

.4 Where a particular aspect of these Recommendations is not relevant to the WIG craft or operational area for which an officer is certificated, the Administration may waive that aspect provided that details of the waiver are shown on the special qualification issued to the officer.

3 General Requirements Regarding Base Qualification

.1         A  maritime  base  qualification  referred  to  in  paragraph  2.1  should  meet  the requirements  listed  in  the  International  Convention  on  Standards  of  Training, Certification  and  Watchkeeping  for  Seafarers,  1978,  as  amended.   Similarly,  an aviationbasequalificationshouldmeettherequirementsoftheInternationalCivil AviationOrganization(ICAO),listedintheChicagoConventiononInternational Civil Aviation, 1944, as amended.

 

 

 

.2         Basequalification(s)recognizedforissueofaspecialqualificationshouldcertify the   officer   for   performance   of   functions   on   a   ship   or   aircraft,   having approximatelyequalorhighercharacteristicsofweight,enginepower,passenger capacity,range,etc.,astheWIGcraftforwhichtheofficeriscertificated.   The special  qualification  should  not  certify  the  officer  for  a  higher  rank  on  board  a WIG craft than that corresponding to the base qualification(s).

 

.3         The  Administration  may  reduce  the  period  of  seagoing  service  on  conventional ships  required  for  obtaining  a  certificate  of  marine  base  qualification  if  the candidate is to work only on a WIG craft.

 

.4         For  the  purposes  of  these  recommendations,  WIG  craft  may  be  classified  by maximum take-offweight (displacement) as follows:

 

-           up to 10 tonnes (small);

-           from10 tonnes up to 500 tonnes (medium); and

-           more than 500 tonnes (large).

 

.5         ThebasequalificationsofofficersonWIGcraftofTypesAandB(asdefinedin the  Interim  Guidelines  for  a  WIG  craft  (MSC/Circ.1054))  should  preferably  be marine   qualifications   e.g.,   as   master,   chief   mate,   officer   in   charge   of   a navigational watch etc.

 

.6         AviationbasequalificationsarenotpreferredforofficersonTypeAWIGcraft but  can  be  accepted  where  the  Administration  is  satisfied  that  the  candidate possesses  the  required  knowledge  and  skills.   It  should  be  noted  that  IMO  and ICAO  (MSC 77/21/1)  have  agreed  that  operations  in  fly-over  mode  rest  within jointmaritime/aviationjurisdiction,whilethoseinflightmodearewithinaviation jurisdiction.

 

.7         For  service  on  WIG  craft  of  Types  A  and  B,  officers  having  an  aviation  base qualificationshouldhavesatisfactorilycompletedanapprovedcourseofmarine training   and   received   a   certificate,   according   to   the   requirements   of   the 1978 STCW Convention, at least in following areas of marine knowledge:

 

-          GMDSS   Radio   (General   Operators'   Certificate   (GOC)   or   Restricted Operators'Certificate (ROC) as appropriate);

-          ARPA;

-          ECDIS;

-          AIS

-          Basic and/or Advanced Fire fighting;

-          Survival;

-          First aid and/or medical training;

-          Human Factors /Bridge Resource Management;

-          High-Speed Craft operations;

-          Passenger handling; and

-          Planning and conductof local pilotage.

4 General Requirements For A Special Qualification Taking Into Account The Specific
