IPM Assignment

Other than setting up the In Port Manning (IPM), the Safety Officer must assign onboard crew members based on their eligible criteria in the respective IPM Group. In this function, only crew members who are on-board are shown in the IPM Assignment window. Crew members who have signed off will not be listed.

Assigning Crew to IPM Group

1. From the Safety menu, select IPM Assignment.

2. In the IPM Assignment window, select the Occurrence Required to display, and select the Safety Department from the drop-down list.

3. The Operational Department to display defaults to All. Select the department if required.

4. Select the Type of Eligibility to display and/or type of crew to filter from the drop-down list.

5. Select the Assigned check-box to assign the selected crew from the grid individually or use the Select All to assign all crew shown in the grid.

6. Crew members with multiple assignments have an additional IPM Code in the Belongs to IPM column. To view crew with multiple assignments, select crew members with Multiple Assignment from the Filter option.

7. Once a crew is assigned to the IPM Group, the number of crew assigned to the IPM Group then populates in the Compliance Requirements.

8. Some of the IPM Groups could have the same eligible Operational Positions or Emergency Functions and may appear or be assigned to more than one IPM Group, depending on the Ship’s operation.

9. Assignment of a crew to multiple IPM Group is controlled by setting the Safety, InPortManning Enable One Crew Assignment per Group parameter to zero. If the parameter is set to 1, the system prompts a dialog before removing the Crew from the previously assigned IPM Group.

10. To un-assign the crew from the IPM Group, deselect the Assigned checkbox and at the message prompt, select Yes to confirm.
