What an assessment for MARC040 must cover
48 assessable components: 4 elements (18 performance criteria), 10 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 Plan refuelling
- 1.1Fuel tanks are dipped to establish current level of fuel
- 1.2Amount of fuel on board vessel is calculated and positioning of fuel is determined
- 1.3Impact of refuelling on vessel safety is determined
- 1.4Fuel is ordered according to organisational procedures
2 Prepare vessel for refuelling
- 2.1Vessel is positioned and secured for refuelling
- 2.2Refuelling equipment is correctly deployed according to organisational procedures
- 2.3Communication between all people involved in refuelling procedures is established
- 2.4Tank valves are opened as necessary and refuelling operations are performed according to organisational procedures and regulatory requirements
- 2.5Tanks are dipped to ensure correct amount of fuel has been received
3 Complete refuelling operations
- 3.1Shutdown procedures are conducted according to organisational procedures
- 3.2Refuelling equipment is secured according to organisational procedures
- 3.3Refuelling records are completed according to organisational procedures and regulatory requirements
- 3.4Malfunctions, faults, irregular performance or damage to refuelling equipment are recorded according to organisational procedures
4 Manage an emergency
- 4.1Appropriate response is made to emergency situation according to organisational procedures
- 4.2Personnel are correctly notified and their activities are managed to ensure their safety according to organisational procedures
- 4.3Waste containment measures are implemented to protect the environment
- 4.4Appropriate authorities are notified when required
- 4.5Incident is recorded according to regulatory requirements and organisational procedures
Performance evidence
- applying work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) and pollution control, legislation and policies
- carrying out accurate and reliable calculations dealing with bunkering capacity, consumption of fuel, speed and range of vessel, volumes and conversion of volumes to litres
- completing required records
- conducting refuelling completion procedures, including communications with fuel supplier and valve closure
- managing refuelling to ensure safety of operation and avoid pollution of marine environment
- measuring tank levels
- recognising faulty equipment and taking appropriate actions
- recognising problems and hazards during refuelling operations and taking appropriate actions
- selecting and using relevant equipment required for refuelling operations
- taking appropriate actions in response to an accidental spillage or safety incident during refuelling operations
Knowledge evidence
- appropriate authorities to be notified in the event of an emergency
- arrangement of fuel oil systems
- calculations of volumes
- condensation in fuel tanks
- conversion of volumes to litres
- effect of slack tanks on vessel stability
- emergency situations, including: fire, hose rupture or bunker line leak, ignition of released fuel vapours, loss of stability, spillage on deck or overboard
- environmental protection measures to be applied during refuelling or transfer operations
- fuel oil tank components
- fuel tank filling
- functions and responsibilities of crew during refuelling or transfer operations
- hazards and safety precautions to be observed during refuelling or transfer operations
- manufacturer specifications and safety data sheets (SDS)/material safety data sheets (MSDS)
- methods of fuel oil tank content measurement
- process for completing required records including: logbook, oil record book, port authority documentation
- refuelling and fuel transfer procedures applying to commercial vessels
- refuelling records
- shutdown procedures including communications with fuel supplier and valve closure
- specific fuel consumption
- WHS/OHS and pollution control, legislation and policies

Questions about assessing MARC040
What does an assessment tool for MARC040 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MARC040 needs to address all 48 unit components: 4 elements with 18 performance criteria, 10 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 MARC040?
Auditori pulls the current release of MARC040 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 MARC040 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing MARC040 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 MARC040, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
