Note I: The content of these course specifications are a combination of competences from the operational and management level function 3 Controlling the operation of the ship and care for persons on board. To maintain the structure of the STCW competence tables for easy reference the operational competences and KUP’s are listed together followed by the management level competences and KUP’s. For the design of the Instructor Guide(s) it is advisable to group the similar subjects from operational and management level together. Note II: In designing the course program there is an option to transfer the legal subjects related to MARPOL and other environmental conventions and treaties to Marine Environmental Protection. This may reduce the possibility of redundancy.

The Engine International Air Pollution Prevention certificate (EIAPP) is issued after this survey for each applicable engine, engine family, or engine group － Initial certification survey: This survey occurs after the engine is installed onboard the ship, but before the ship is placed into service. It ensures that the engine meets the NOx limits as installed. If an engine has an EIAPP, the initial certification survey will primarily ensure that any modifications to the engine‘s settings are within the allowable adjustment limits specified in the EIAPP － Periodic and intermediate surveys: These surveys occur as part of the ship‘s surveys described above. They ensure that the engine continues to comply fully with the NOx limits － Modification survey: This survey occurs when an engine overhaul meets the criteria for a major conversion. It ensures that the modified engine complies with the NOx
