An analysis of Great Lakes licensed officer skills, jointly sponsored and funded by Great Lakes bulk freighter operators, Marine Engineers Beneficial Association and Associated Maritime Officers District 2, and the Maritime Administration, was performed in order to provide a realistic basis for improving Great Lakes officer training and education programs. The specific objectives were to (1) identify the tasks performed by Great Lakes licensed personnel and define the skills and knowledge required to carry them out; (2) develop guidance goals for training and education for each level of officer responsibility. Initial data was obtained from visits to operators' staffs, officer training schools and vessels in port. Inputs from oceangoing skills studies were used where applicable. Preliminary tasks, skills, and knowledge requirements were verified and refined by underway and in-port observations of deck and engine officer activities aboard six bulk freighters and one tanker. A steering committee composed of operator and union representatives guided and reviewed the project team's work. Final results, consisting of tasks, skills, and knowledge requirements and guidance goals for training and education for Great Lakes bulk freighter and tanker deck and engine officers, are documented in Part Two of the report.
