FOREIGN PASSENGER VESSEL EXAMINER COURSE

1.0 GENERAL.

1.1 SCOPE.

The Coast Guard has a requirement for a cruise vessel to host three (3) convenings of the Foreign Passenger Vessel Examiner Course departing from either, Ft. Lauderdale or Miami FL between 15 Jan 2018 to 30 Jun 2018. As such the cruise vessel vendor shall provide all supplies and services to include lodging and food to accommodate up to 20 attendees for a “5” to “7” day cruise event including a fully furnished training room with audio/visual, WiFi Internet service, onsite support and crew provided access to various shipboard locations, demonstration and/or testing of shipboard equipment and shadowing of crewmembers. There shall be at least three to four weeks between sailings. Blackout dates: February 14- 26, 2018, March 15-18, 2018, March 26-30, 2018, and May 3-7, 2018.

1.2 BACKGROUND.

1.2.1 – Regulatory requirements to conduct inspections

The U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) requires vessels to be inspected or examined; the Officer in Charge Marine Inspections delegates the Marine Inspector as their representative to conduct the inspections.

“46 CFR 2.01-6 Requires foreign passenger vessels which are signatory to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea to be issued a Certificate of Compliance upon satisfactory completion of a compliance examination by the Officer in Charge Marine Inspections.”

Marine Safety Manual (MSM), Volume I, Administration and Management, COMDINST M16000.6 (series), Chapter 3 defines a Marine Inspector as:

“The marine inspector is an officer or civilian assigned to the inspection department of a field unit to perform the field duties of the Commercial Vessel Safety (CVS) Program. The inspector must understand and apply federal statutes and regulations, Coast Guard policy, and accepted industrial standards in the inspection of construction, alterations and repairs, equipment, and operating procedures for various types of vessels. To this end, the inspector shall be thoroughly familiar with applicable references, and shall take advantage of available technical training.”

1.2.2 – Coast Guard requirements to conduct the FPVE Course

The Coast Guard Cruise Ship National Center of Expertise (CSNCOE) conduct the Foreign Passenger Vessel Examiners (FPVE) Course. Prior to the creation of the CSNCOE the course was taught by Marine Safety Office and then Sector Miami since the 1990’s. MSM Volume II, Material Inspection, COMDINST M16000.7 (series), Section A, Chapter 7 mandates the attendance of the C-School Training.

“Below is a list of mandatory and additional courses applicable to Marine Inspectors and Vessel Examiners.

a. Mandatory.

(1) Marine Inspector Course (Domestic) – Course Code 501869

(2) Port State Control (PSC) – Course Code 501864.

b. Mandatory for earning a competency.

(1) Foreign Passenger Vessel Examiner – Course Code 500317 (Required for Foreign Passenger

Vessel Examiner certification)”

In order to be qualified to perform vessel inspections members need to complete the Performance Qualification System (PQS) for the type of vessel. The FPVE PQS also mandates that personnel complete the course.

The Coast Guard Office of Commercial Vessel Compliance (CVC) and FORCECOM have approved the Course Curriculum Outline in which the following is addressed.

“The course is designed to broaden and deepen understanding of and competency in the Coast Guard’s Foreign Passenger Vessel Examination Program. Course lessons explain in depth technical and regulatory concept standards applicable to foreign passenger vessels. The combination of lesson proficiency assessment and ship visit ensure greater awareness and consistency in participant’s decision making skills while evaluating a vessel’s compliance with international and domestic safety, security, and environmental standards.”

“The final Terminal Performance Objective required to be performed by the student is 10.1- As a team member, given a FPVE Process Guide, EVALUATE a simulated examination without error.” This simulated examination is held in the Lab (i.e. Foreign Passenger Vessel (Cruise Ship)).

“Facility and Space Requirements:

Classroom (1) 1050 Square feet Lab (1) Foreign Passenger Vessel (Cruise Ship)”

1.2.3 – Coast Guard Requirements to perform ship rides as part of qualification

MSM Volume II, Material Inspection, COMDINST M16000.7 (series), Section A, Chapter 7 mandates Industry Specific Orientation.

“Industry Specific Orientation training is designed to develop a foundational understanding of a specific vessel industry and includes a series of tasks that must be completed as part of the marine inspection qualification process. These tasks include ship rides or shore side tasks appropriate for that particular industry and vessel type. All marine inspection performance and qualification standards (PQS) now include enclosures that require Industry Specific Orientation training.”

To address the Industry Specific Orientation the PQS requires that Coast Guard members participate in a Cruise Ship Rider Program. The Cruise Ship Rider Program is based off of the Coast Guard Merchant Marine Indoctrination (MMI) Ship Rider Program, COMTISNT 16705.1.

“The MMI Ship Rider Program is a cooperative educational program between the Coast Guard and participating host ship companies. By providing opportunities for Coast Guard members to join a vessel’s crew while underway and act as a riding observer, the program gives the ship rider practical knowledge of the performance and operating characteristics of various vessels, equipment, waterways, and crews operating within the maritime industry.”
