5.- Basic knowledge of the hazards associated with the ship's operations.
6.- Basic knowledge of hazard control: inerting, ventilation, segregation, etc.
7.- Material Safety Date Sheet (MSDS).
8.- Gas measuring instruments and similar equipment.
9.- Emergency operations
10.- Fire prevention and fire fighting
11.- Pollution prevention
12.- Risks related to pressure and low temperatures

The development of these sub-items complies with column 2, Knowledge, Understanding and Sufficiency, of the STCW Convention, as amended by Manila 2010, of the following table:

Table A-V/1-1-1. Specification of minimum standards of competence in basic training for cargo operations on oil tankers and chemical tankers.

Assessment comments

Column 4, Criteria for assessing competenceof the STCW Convention will be taken into account

Table A-V/1-1-1. Specification
of mínimum standard of competence in basic training for oil and chemical tanker
cargo operations. 

Table A-V/1-2-1. Specification
of mínimum standard of competence in basic training for liquefied gan tanker
cargo operations. 

Section A-V/2: Mandatory
mínimum requiriments for the training and qualification of masters, officers, rattings
and other personnel on passenger ships,

of IMO STCW Code.

In order to obtain the Certificate of basic training for cargo operations on tankers and chemical tankers and cargo operations on tankers for the transport of liquefied gas and for the Passenger Ship Certificate, the three certificates being completely independent, there will be partial mixed tests at the end of each subject as well as a final mixed test in the official calls for the 1st opportunity and 2nd opportunity, with 90% attendance being compulsory during the course.

The internships are mandatory to obtain the Certificates

Regarding the
sanctions applicable for the commission of serious misconduct, article 11 of
the Student Disciplinary Regulations of the University of A Coruña, approved by
the Governing Council on 02/27/2023, in June 2023 point b) was modified as
follows:

b) The
fraudulent completion of exams or assessment activities, once confirmed, will
result directly in a failing grade in the respective exam session: the student
will be graded as "fail" (numerical grade of 0) in the corresponding
academic year's exam session, whether the misconduct occurs in the first
opportunity or the second. In this regard, their grade will be modified in the
first opportunity's record, if necessary.

As stated in the different regulations of application for university teaching, the gender perspective must be incorporated in this matter (Non-sexist language will be used, bibliography of authors of both sexes will be used, te intervention in class of students will be encouraged.

Work will be done to identify and modify prejudices and sexist attitudes and will influence the environment to modify them and promote values of respect and equality.

Situations of discrimination based on gender should be detected and actions and measures proposed to correct them”.
