No More Assessment for COP II/5 & III/5 Applicants for Able Seafarer Deck & Engine

Certificate of Proficiency (COP) for Able Seafarers - AB, Bosun, Oiler/Motorman Clarified by MARINA STCW Advisory No. 2016-14
Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) released STCW Advisory No. 2016-14 which contains clarifications on some provisions of STCW Circular No. 2016-07 and 2016-08 on Mandatory Minimum Requirements for Examination, Assessment and Certification of Ratings as Able Seafarer Deck and Able Seafarer Engine, respectively, for existing Deck and Engine Ratings.

**UPDATED - for those who have 12 Months sea service as Cadet, read below
Read in Filipino below...

The Advisory Concludes:
  1. All existing Ratings for both Deck and Engine who served on board for 12 months for the last 60 months prior to 26 May 2016 are considered to have met all the requirements of Regulation II/5 Section A-II/5 and Regulation III/5 Section A-III/5 of the STCW Convention and Code and shall qualify for the issue of Certificate of Proficiency (COP)

  2. Seafarers covered by the preceding paragraph shall present a Seafarer's Identification and Record Book (SIRB), Company Certification (Sea Service),  and Valid Medical Certificate.
In short, If you have 12 months sea service as Rating (Deck or Engine) within past 5 years (60 months) before May 26, 2016, you are already qualified to get a COP for Able Seafarer (for Deck or Engine) under STCW Regulation II/5 or III/5.
(Includes Able Seaman, Bosun, Motorman, Oiler positions)

You don't need to have an Examination or Practical Assessment. Only the requirements stated above in number 2, are the minimum requirements you need to provide.

    • (Filipino Translation) Para sa kukuha ng COP para sa Able Seafarer (Deck/Engine)
      • ##anchor##  Kung ikaw ay may sakay na bilang isang Rating (Deck o Engine) ng hindi bababa sa 12 na buwan sa loob ng nakalipas na 5 taon (60 buwan) bago ang May 26, 2016, Ikaw ay pwede ng kumuha ng COP bilang Able Seafarer (Deck/Engine) at hindi na kailangan mag-exam o mag-practical assesment.
        ##anchor##  ang mga requirement na sinabi sa taas (No. 2) ay minimum requirements na kailangan mong isubmit kapag kukuha ng COP.
        *inuulit namen, na maaring may hingin pa na requirements ang STCW office bukod sa nabangit.
Please inform all your Seafarer friends by sharing this post. Mabuhay ang Seaman!
