EXAMINATION AND ASSESSMENT OF COMPETENCE
PHILIPPINE MEASURES
Immediate Measures
KEY AREA 3
1.
•
The MARINA has reviewed and
revised the competences and
KUPs required to be assessed, both
theoretical
examination
and
practical
assessment
(using
simulator
and/or
laboratory
equipment or other means of
assessment) as indicated in
Competency Mapping which took
into consideration the methods for
demonstrating competence as
required in Column 3 of the
relevant Table of Competence of
the STCW Code. Reference to
Grievance 12, the following were
the results of the review and
revision conducted by the Board of
Examiners (BOE):
1) marine diesel engines;
2) marine steam turbines;
3) marine gas turbines;
4) marine boilers;
5) shafting installations, including
propellers;
6) other auxiliaries, including
various pumps, air compressor,
purifier, fresh water generator,
heat exchanger, refrigeration,
air-conditioning and ventilation
systems;
7) steering gear;
8) automatic control systems;
Table A-III/1 of Section A-III/1 of the
STCW
Code
under
the
competence “Operate main and
auxiliary machinery and associated
control systems” which requires
KUP on ‘basic construction and
operation principles of machinery
systems, including:
126
9) fluid flow and characteristics of
lubricating oil, fuel oil and
cooling systems;
10) deck machinery
The BOE has identified that
this can be demonstrated by
successfully passing the MARINA
prescribed
theoretical
examination. As such, no changes
have been made with the
Competency Mapping. (Annex IV
of MARINA Advisory No. 2020-87,
