Chapter 1 Introduction to GSK 1

Chapter 1 | Introduction to GSK 1

General Ship Knowledge, Level 1 is a new course that is a part of the new Fishing Master Class III certificate of competency. This course replaces the old GSK 157. This change has been a result of the implementation of the Canada Shipping Act (CSA), 2001 and pursuant regulations.

This workbook will introduce the participant to the various sets of regulations and guidelines listed in the syllabus. Keep in mind that it is not necessary to memorize the documents word for word, as five of the documents are open book; however, a thorough understanding of the content and where to find specific details in the regulations and guidelines is absolutely necessary to pass the exam.

The first important point to be aware of is the difference between guidelines and regulations.

Regulations, in this case, are pursuant to the Canada Shipping Act, 2001 and are enforceable by various governmental agencies including Transport Canada, Canadian Coast Guard and the RCMP. Any violation of regulation can result in fines and or imprisonment. There are a great number of regulations that are pursuant to the CSA, 2001; however for this particular course we are only concerned with the following five:

Prevention of Pollution from Ships and for Dangerous Chemicals As of 2012, the old pollution regulations “Regulations for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships and for Dangerous Chemicals SOR/2007-86, has been repealed. The Canada Shipping Act contains the newest regulations; however, the Transport Canada syllabus for the GSK1 exam is still based on the older regulation. Regulations for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships and for Dangerous Chemicals were current from 2001, until 2012. This regulation replaced several older regulations and now includes Oil, Noxious Liquid Substances and Dangerous Chemicals, Pollutant Substances, Sewage, Garbage, Air and Anti Fouling Systems.

Marine Personnel Regulations This regulation is also new and came into force July 2007. It contains regulations pertaining to the training, certification and crewing requirements for Canadian fishing vessels. The Marine Personnel Regulations also includes requirements for the labour standards onboard, including hours and rest and minimum age.

Safe Working Practices Regulations This regulation has been around for a long time and is still very relevant for today’s owner and skipper. It was a part of the old GSK 157 and knowledge of its contents is still required for the new exam.

Ship’s Electrical Standards Ship’s Electrical Standards (TP127) have been established by the Department of Transport and set out minimum standards of safety for electrical equipment, installations and appliances and the requirements of first and periodic inspections. A copy of this standard is needed to complete this course and will be allowed in the exam room.

Chapter 1 | Introduction to GSK 1

Guidelines Guidelines for the marine industry normally result from the conventions of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). These guidelines are, in turn, the international standard that domestic law is based on. The international guidelines that we are concerned with in this course are a collaborative effort between the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the International Maritime Organization (IMO), and International Labour Organization (ILO) all of which fall under the umbrella of the United Nations (UN).

The guidelines for this course are:

FAO/ILO/IMO Code of Safety for Fishermen and Fishing Vessels This is a fairly comprehensive document, which deals with many aspects of the fishing industry.

It is substantial and consists of 397 pages. Fortunately, a copy of this document can be brought into the examination room. The main objective is to become competent with locating specific details and be able to answer questions in an efficient manner.

Note: This workbook does not contain the actual regulations, but is a supplement or study guide to help familiarize the participant with the regulations.

Canada Shipping Act, 2001 The Constitution Act of Canada, originally written in 1867, covers, among other things, the distribution of legislative powers. In section 91, under the Powers of Parliament, it states that, “The exclusive Legislative Authority of the Parliament of Canada extends to all Matters coming within the Classes of Subjects next hereinafter enumerated; that is to say”…. “10. Navigation and Shipping”. Basically, all of this means that the Constitution of Canada, gives Parliament the powers to regulate “Navigation and Shipping”. Under those powers, the Canada Shipping Act was written and became law.

On July 1, 2007, the Canada Shipping Act, 2001 (CSA 2001) replaced the Canada Shipping Act (CSA) as the principal legislation governing safety in marine transportation and recreational boating, as well as protection of the marine environment. It applies to Canadian vessels operating in all waters and to all vessels operating in Canadian waters (from canoes and kayaks to cruise ships and tankers). The CSA 2001 promotes the sustainable growth of the marine shipping industry without compromising safety.

The CSA 2001 represents an updated and streamlined version of the original CSA, making it clearer and easier to understand. This means, for example, regulations have been re-written in plain language and information is consolidated by topic and regulation. Prescriptive detail that was once found in the Act is now in the regulations, which allows for a more performance-based approach.

The CSA 2001 makes use of modern legislative practices such as risk management techniques, which will allow safe operators to take advantage of provisions that could further reduce their operating costs without compromising safety or the environment.

Chapter 1 | Introduction to GSK 1

The objectives of the CSA 2001 are to: • Protect the health and well-being of individuals, including the crews of vessels who participate in marine transportation and commerce; • Promote safety in marine transportation and recreational boating; • Protect the marine environment from damage due to navigation and shipping activities; • Develop a regulatory scheme that encourages viable, effective and efficient marine transportation on Canadian waters for commerce and recreation; • Promote an efficient marine transportation system; • Ensure that Canada can meet its international obligations under bilateral and multilateral agreements with respect to navigation and shipping; • Encourage the harmonization of marine practices; and • Establish an effective compliance promotion program.

For more information about the CSA 2001 and its regulations, please visit: www.cmac-ccmc. gc.ca. Copies of the CSA 2001 and its regulations are available on our web site. You may also contact your local Transport Canada Centre.

Chapter 2 | FAO, ILO, IMO Code of Safety for Fishermen and Fishing Vessels

Introduction The three organizations of the United Nations, ILO, IMO and FAO have jointly prepared a Code of safety for fishermen and fishing vessels. Part A, “Safety and health practices for skippers and crews” was adopted in 1968. It is an educational tool dealing with the fundamentals of safety and health. Part B, “Safety and health requirements for the construction and equipment of fishing vessels,” adopted in 1974, is intended to serve as a guide to those concerned with framing national laws and regulations. Its application is limited to fishing vessels of 24m in length and over, excluding recreational fishing vessels and processing vessels.

History of Development Shipping is perhaps the most international of all the world’s great industries - and one of the most dangerous. It has always been recognized that the best way of improving safety at sea is by developing international regulations that are followed by all shipping nations.

IMO’s first task when it came into being in 1959 was to adopt a new version of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), the most important of all treaties dealing with maritime safety.

IMO has also developed and adopted international collision regulations and global standards for seafarers, as well as international conventions and codes relating to search and rescue, the facilitation of international maritime traffic, load lines, the carriage of dangerous goods and tonnage measurement (IMO, 2009).

The Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) is IMO’s senior technical body on safety-related matters.

It is aided in its work by a number of Sub-Committees. It was in the report of the MSC during its 79th session, which occurred on the 2nd of February 2005 that the revised edition of the Code of Safety for Fishermen was included as Annex 38.

The safety of fishing vessels has been a matter of concern to IMO since the Organization’s inception, but the differences in design and operation between fishing vessels and other types of ship have proved to be an obstacle to their inclusion in the SOLAS and Load Lines Conventions.

The fact remains that the fishing sector, which reportedly suffers around 24,000 human losses annually, is still lacking the international mandatory safety regime which would be provided by the 1993 Torremolinos Protocol for the Safety of Fishing Vessels and the International Convention on Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Fishing Vessel Personnel, 1995, if both instruments had come into force.

IMO is implementing a technical co-operation programme to provide information and assistance, at the regional level, in order to promote acceptance of the two instruments, as well as the implementation of the Fishing Vessel Safety Code and Voluntary Guidelines.

Whilst the entry into force of the Torremolinos Protocol and the STCW-F Convention remains a prime goal, the Fishing Vessel Safety Code and Voluntary Guidelines provide useful recommendations to safeguard fishermen’s lives.

IMO Member States have been urged to accept the 1993 Torremolinos Protocol and the 1995 STCW-F Convention in order to bring these treaties into force to enhance fishing vessel safety and training standards of fishing vessel personnel.

Chapter 2 | FAO, ILO, IMO Code of Safety for Fishermen and Fishing Vessels

Revised Fishing Vessel Safety Code and Voluntary Guidelines As well as the two main treaties, the Torremolinos Protocol and the STCW-F Convention, IMO has developed, in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture organization (FAO) and the International Labour Organization (ILO), a number of non-mandatory instruments. These include the FAO/ILO/IMO Document for Guidance on Fishermen’s Training and Certification and the revised Code of Safety for Fishermen and Fishing Vessels, 2005, and the Voluntary Guidelines for the Design, Construction and Equipment of Small Fishing Vessels, 2005.

The revised Fishing Vessel Safety Code and Voluntary Guidelines - originally developed and approved in the 1970s - have been developed for use primarily by competent authorities, training institutions, fishing vessel owners, fishermen’s representative organizations and nongovernmental organizations having a recognized role in fishermen’s safety and health and training.
