MARH013 — Plan and navigate a passage for a vessel up to 12 metres

1 Plan passage

• 1.1Appropriate charts and publications are accessed and checked for currency
• 1.2Destination is identified, and course and waypoints are plotted
• 1.3Estimated time of arrival (ETA) at waypoints and final destination are calculated
• 1.4Safe passage is plotted to comply with all navigational buoys, marks and beacons
• 1.5Navigational hazards are identified to avoid dangers to vessel
• 1.6Weather information is accessed to determine expected weather pattern for intended passage
• 1.7Proposed course is modified as necessary, to meet expected weather conditions
• 1.8Fuel consumption for passage, including a reserve, is calculated

2 Conduct a pre-departure check

• 2.1Propulsion equipment and alarms are tested for serviceability and vessel hull is checked for seaworthiness
• 2.2Navigation equipment and alarms are checked to ensure they are in proper working condition and set for the passage
• 2.3Navigation equipment is checked for errors and allowances are made in planning the passage
• 2.4Fuel is checked to ensure there is adequate fuel on board for intended passage
• 2.5Safety equipment is checked for compliance with legislation
• 2.6Communications equipment is checked to ensure it is in proper working condition
• 2.7Anchoring and mooring equipment is checked to ensure it is adequate and in good condition
• 2.8Vessel and equipment are secured for sea

3 Conduct passage

• 3.1Local authorities are advised of departure and passage plan
• 3.2Vessel is steered and propulsion equipment is operated in a safe and controlled manner to complete pre-planned course
• 3.3Pilotage techniques and navigational equipment are used to monitor vessel position and maintain vessel in safe waters at all times
• 3.4Errors detected with navigational equipment are corrected to maintain planned passage
• 3.5Navigational buoys, marks and beacons are identified and complied with
• 3.6Situational awareness is maintained to avoid navigational hazards and to comply with regulations for prevention of collision at sea
• 3.7Weather and sea conditions are monitored during passage and correct adjustments are made for changing conditions

4 Complete passage

• 4.1Local authority is advised of completion of passage
• 4.2Vessel is checked to ensure it is securely moored
• 4.3Propulsion equipment is checked to ensure it is safely shut down and secured
• 4.4Navigational equipment is switched off

What does an assessment tool for MARH013 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MARH013 needs to address all 63 unit components: 4 elements with 27 performance criteria, 14 performance evidence requirements, 22 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 MARH013?

Auditori pulls the current release of MARH013 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 MARH013 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MARH013 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 MARH013, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
