What an assessment for MARC061 must cover

35 assessable components: 3 elements (10 performance criteria), 5 performance evidence and 20 knowledge evidence requirements. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Prepare equipment for mooring operations

  • 1.1Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) is selected and assembled in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 1.2Equipment is located, selected, and made ready in accordance with workplace procedures to achieve safe and efficient operations
  • 1.3Routine pre-operational checks are carried out in accordance with manufacturer instructions and workplace procedures
  • 1.4Non-operational equipment is tagged out, and reported to appropriate personnel
  • 1.5Hazards are identified and control measures are applied in accordance with workplace procedures and reported

2 Operate mechanical mooring equipment

  • 2.1Equipment is operated in a safe and controlled manner within defined operating limits and in accordance with workplace procedures and manufacturer’s instructions
  • 2.2Equipment failure is identified, and action is taken and reported in accordance with workplace procedures (as required)

3 Complete equipment shut down

  • 3.1Equipment is shut down in accordance with manufacturer instructions and workplace procedures
  • 3.2Defective, damaged, or malfunctioning equipment is tagged out, recorded, and reported in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 3.3All required documentation is completed in accordance with workplace procedures

Performance evidence

  • applying relevant work health and safety requirements and workplace procedures
  • communicating with personnel involved in mooring operations
  • following work instructions and safety procedures
  • operating mechanical mooring equipment in accordance with manufactures instructions
  • recognising hazards and risks associated with mooring equipment in accordance with workplace procedures.

Knowledge evidence

  • factors that affect mooring equipment, including the effects of wind, weather, tides, sea conditions, currents, draft changes, and surges from passing vessels on mooring operations
  • hazards and risks associated with mechanical mooring equipment including:
  • ‘snap back’ when a line breaks
  • line tension and load on line of mooring lines
  • loose personal wear
  • man, overboard or person falls in water
  • stepping inside the bight of a line
  • operation, features, and application of mechanical mooring equipment including:
  • capstan
  • hydraulic mooring system
  • integrated capstans
  • magnetic mooring systems
  • quick release systems
  • shore tension system
  • personal protective equipment (PPE) required for operation of mooring equipment
  • relevant manufacturer instructions relating to use of machinery, including specifications on equipment capability and limitations
  • types of berth and terminals where mechanical mooring and unmooring are applied
  • types of mechanical mooring equipment and techniques for using equipment including safety requirements
  • work health and safety requirements and workplace procedures
  • workplace procedures including relevant documentation and records.

Questions about assessing MARC061

What does an assessment tool for MARC061 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MARC061 needs to address all 35 unit components: 3 elements with 10 performance criteria, 5 performance evidence requirements, 20 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for MARC061?

Auditori pulls the current release of MARC061 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for MARC061 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MARC061 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of MARC061, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
