Fatigue Risk Management Plan

Introduction
Marine Order 54 requires that all pilots operate within a fatigue risk management plan. The following plan is
the Australian Maritime Safety Authority plan as mentioned in Marine Order 54, provision 58 (AMSAs plan).

Procedures
1.

Minimum Rest Periods

Purpose
The purpose of this procedure is to set out the minimum rest periods that must be observed by pilots under
the default FRMP.

Scope
This procedure applies to all pilots and all pilotage providers that hold a licence issued by AMSA in
accordance with Marine Order 54.

Procedure

Part A
1.
a.

A roster cycle must not exceed 28 days. The pilot must have not less than 5 consecutive
optimal nights rest at home after a roster cycle exceeding 21 days.

b.

A pilot completing a roster cycle in 21 days or less is to have not less than 4 consecutive
optimal nights rest at home after the roster cycle.

c.

A roster cycle must be terminated if the pilot has reached 15 points or more (see section 2).
The pilot must have not less than 5 consecutive optimal nights rest at home after a roster cycle
during which the pilot accrues 15 points or more.

d.

Pilots having a planned break of 3 consecutive optimal nights rest at home on 2 separate
occasions during a roster cycle will be exempt from the requirement to have not less than:
(i)

4 consecutive optimal nights rest at home at the completion of a 21 day roster cycle; or

(ii)

5 consecutive optimal nights rest at home at the completion of a 28 day roster cycle; or

(iii)

5 consecutive optimal nights rest at home after accruing 15 or more roster cycle points.

The completion of the second period of 3 consecutive optimal nights rest at home will
automatically complete the roster cycle and reset the point score to zero.
e.

Pilots that have had a period of 3 consecutive optimal nights rest at home during a roster
cycle whilst accruing 15 or more points must return to their home but will only be required
to have 3 consecutive optimal nights rest at home before another roster cycle can commence.

f.

A period of 5 consecutive optimal nights rest or two periods of 3 consecutive optimal nights
rest at home at any time during the roster cycle will automatically complete the roster cycle
and reset the point score to zero.

Fatigue Risk Management Plan

2.

3.

The roster cycle points are allocated as follows:


a.

Inner Route - 2.5 points

b.

GNEC, Hydrographers Passage, Cairns/ Flattery, or One-Half Mile Opening/Cape Flattery 1


point

The minimum rest periods between vessels are as follows:


a.

Inner Route: A minimum period of 24 hours which must include an optimal nights rest before
and after the pilotage.

b.

GNEC, Hydrographers Passage, Cairns/ Flattery, or One-Half Mile Opening/Cape Flattery: A


period of 12 hours rest.

c.

A lesser period of rest between 2 pilotages in the Hydrographers Passage or GNEC may be
taken if the following requirements are met:
(i)

The pilot has an optimal nights rest before the first pilotage and after the second pilotage
and;

(ii)

The total time interval from the beginning of the first pilotage to the completion of the
second pilotage inclusive of travel is not expected to exceed 18 hours.

4.

After 3 consecutive Inner Route pilotages have been conducted with only 1 optimal nights rest
separating each pilotage then 2 optimal nights rest are required before another Inner Route pilotage
can be conducted.

5.

Time spent in pilot boats, helicopters or other transport during pilot transfers is duty associated with
employment. This time is not to be included in a rest period.

6.

Relocation between ports for the purpose of conducting a pilotage is duty associated with
employment. This time is not to be included in a rest period.

7.

Rest may be taken aboard ships (e.g. at anchor) so long as the pilot has reported to REEFVTS that
they have ceased duty.

8.

Pilots are required to take a minimum of 63 days leave per annum. Leave break periods must not be
less than 14 consecutive days.

9.

No pilot can work longer than 150 days without a leave break.

10.

The requirements for rest listed above are the minimum requirements; pilots may take greater rest
breaks from work than those mentioned.

Procedure

Part B
AMSA is prepared to consider allowing the minimum rest periods to be modified subject to a formal
documented proposal being submitted by the pilotage provider. If, however, other pilots are available then
approval for modifying minimum rest periods will not be granted.
The proposal must clearly show how the pilotage provider has considered the potential fatigue risk. It must
also clearly indicate the perceived level of risk based on a qualitative risk assessment.

Fatigue Risk Management Plan

A qualitative risk assessment based on the FAID program (or similar) is considered acceptable.
A qualitative assessment based on a sleep/wake deficit analysis which credits each sleep hour with two
index points and debits one index point for each hour awake may be acceptable. This method however
makes no allowance for physical or mental effort or for the effects of circadian rhythms. As such an
allowance for the effects of these factors must be applied if appropriate. It would be anticipated that this
estimated allowance would reduce the potential time available for the pilot to be on duty.
Issues that must be clearly addressed in the formal documented proposal to AMSA:

It must be clearly stated that there is no other pilot available.

The pilot is in complete agreement and gives a clear indication that they believe it is safe to complete
the pilotage.

The route of the previous pilotage completed by the pilot.

Dates and times of boarding and disembarking from the previous pilotage.

An estimate of the rest achieved during previous pilotage.

The proposed pilotage route.

Estimated date and time of boarding the vessel.

Estimated period of the pilotage.

Estimated period before any subsequent pilotage.

Results of any FAID (or similar) assessments.

Results of any sleep/wake deficiency analysis if used together with an indication of any allowances
for physical or mental effort or circadian rhythm.

2. Monitoring
Purpose
The purpose of this procedure is to describe the fatigue risk monitoring procedures that must be undertaken
by providers and pilots.

Scope
This procedure applies to all pilots, and all pilotage providers that hold a licence issued by AMSA.

Procedure
All pilots will monitor their hours of work and rest aboard vessels and if for any reason the pilot considers
that the rest periods available are unable to be used to best advantage, or if the pilot considers the rest
periods may be inadequate, then this information must be conveyed to the provider as soon as possible so
alternative arrangements can be made if required.
AMSA is to be copied in to any request from a pilot to a pilotage provider regarding amendments to pilotage
assignments where fatigue is a consideration.
All pilotage providers will process any extraordinary rest requests received from pilots in a timely manner
to ensure that pilots are not fatigued and therefore suitable to be allocated to vessels to perform pilotage
duties.

Fatigue Risk Management Plan

Pilots are not to accept a pilotage assignment unless they are fully confident in their ability to complete the
pilotage task while remaining fully alert.

3.

Audit & Review

Purpose
The purpose of this procedure is to describe how the AMSA FRMP will be audited and reviewed.

Scope
This procedure applies to all pilots, and all pilotage providers that hold a licence issued by AMSA.

Procedure
AMSA Audit
AMSA will audit the FRMP used by the pilotage provider at least annually, whether the default or approved
FRMP.
AMSA Review
AMSA shall review the effectiveness of the FRMP at least annually.

4. Records
Purpose
The purpose of this procedure is to describe how the data of fatigue management generated by the FRMP
will be recorded.

Scope
This procedure applies to all pilots, and all pilotage providers that hold a licence issued by AMSA.

Procedure
Each pilotage provider will keep the records of the fatigue management of pilots for 2 years.
Each pilotage provider will keep the records of any analysis performed for audit purposes for 2 years.
