Plan the allocation of storage space for boats and yachts ashore

This standard identifies the competences you need to plan the allocation of space for boats and yachts that are to be stored within the marina area. This includes the allocation of pontoon space for water based storage, and the allocation of yard space for storage ashore.  You will be required to ensure that boats and yachts are stored in accordance with organisational procedures and that the allocation of space reflects the day to day operational needs of the marina.  This will include ensuring that boats for repair or requiring maintenance work are in the correct areas to support this activity.

Your responsibilities will require you to comply with organisational policy and procedures for the allocation of marina space and to report any problems and limitations on the storage space available.  You will be expected to work, taking personal responsibility for your own actions and for ensuring that resources are effectively managed.* *
