Sector : Mining and Metals
Project Description
Our client is an African and international mining company.
In response to the increasing river and maritime traffic in its operational area, and the daily challenge of safety at its sites, our client wishes to implement a coherent and appropriate training and retraining program for seafarers, with a particular focus on pilot training aimed at demonstrating operational efficiency.
The departures and arrivals of ships calling at the port require acquired skills in piloting.
The need, therefore, is to create a short- and medium-term continuous training program to ensure the safety and operational performance of ship movements and port activities in general.
The program will cover the training of student pilots and provide technical support to tugboat captains to enable operational synergy that is favorable to tidal, weather, and shipping constraints.
The holder will manage the planning, organization, control, and evaluation of activities within their responsibility while maintaining a close relationship with the port authority.
The production of observation reports on docking, mooring, departure, and buoyage operations remains an important part of their roles and responsibilities
Furthermore, the trainer will be responsible for carrying out piloting activities in accordance with the planning of ship movements
Your Responsabilities
In summary, the expectations of the training project are as follows
Conduct the training and skill development of employees assuming the role of pilot :
- Navigation in the channel,
- Anchoring in shallow waters,
- Docking during high tide, in reduced visibility conditions, and in rainy or windy weather, both during the day and at night
Ensure the piloting of ships in the port :
- Take responsibility for each vessel navigating the river in terms of piloting, participating in the entire operations just like the on-duty pilot.
- Prepare technical reports related to piloting maneuvers.
Mooring :
- Several mooring positions and mineral dock quays need to be considered, as well as mooring positions for mineral barges and cargo ships.
Port Services :
- Some ships may require a pilot, one or more tugs, or other maritime services. Arrangements are made to record the required services and allocate the necessary resources to ensure proper billing follow-up.
Billing :
- Various charges and operations must be billed correctly, promptly, and efficiently. The pilot must use operational data and the predefined rate list to automatically calculate the applicable fees :
- Service fee
- Channel usage free
- Docking fee
- Tonnage fee
- Cargo handling fee
- Etc.
The pilot trainer will need to:
- Develop a coherent program that integrates theoretical training with practical services.
