Table A-II/1 of Section A-II/1 of the
STCW
Code
under
the
competence “Plan and conduct a
passage and determine position”
requires
KUP
on
‘Thorough
knowledge of and ability to use
nautical charts, and publications,
such as sailing directions, tide
tables, notices to mariners, radio
navigational warnings and ships’
routeing information’. As method
for
demonstrating
the
competence Table A-II/1 requires
‘Examination and assessment of
evidence obtained from one or
more of the following:
In this spirit, Annex C of JCMMC No.
01, series 2019, and annex C.1 of
JCMMC No.2 series of 2019 require
MHEIs to make available at the
chart plotting room (i.e., navigation
laboratory) a minimum of 80
nautical charts of different scales
and types.
.2 approved training ship

.3 approved simulator training,
where appropriate
.4 approved laboratory equipment
training. Using chart catalogues,
charts, nautical publications,

However, the PNTC Colleges only
have nine paper charts in the
navigation laboratory and all are
from a different area, which
prevents the students working
on the same exercise. Hence, it
does not ensure that the
competence “Plan and conduct a
passage and determine position”
is achieved, as required by Table
A-II/1 of Section A-II/1 of the STCW
Code.
