PHILIPPINE MEASURES
Immediate Measures
At the time of the EMSA Inspection, the
prevailing curriculum that is being used
by the MHEIs is the one contained in
CMO 67, S-2017. Under this, some
competences under Table A-II/2 and AIII/2 are included.
The STCW Competences Map of the
BSMarE Program (Attachment 01-B2)
does not include the four KUPs of Table
A-III/2 since their corresponding four
courses are undertaken by the BSMarE
graduates as required training prior to
Certification
by
MARINA
under
Regulation
III/2
of
the
STCW
Convention, 1978, as amended. The
required training prior to certification is
handled
by
Maritime
Training
Institutions and are therefore covered
by the mandatory training standards
applicable to them.
To fully address these grievances, the
MARINA and CHED have issued the
JCMMC 01 series of 2022 specifying the
Program Descriptions and Nature of
Field of Study covered by the BSMT and
BSMarE Programs which will enter into
force in AY 2022-2023.
The BSMT and BSMarE programs under
JCMMC No. 01 series of 2022 cover all
KUPs under Table A-II/1 and Table A-III/1
and
some
knowledge
and
understanding under Table A-II/2 (i.e. 1)
operating principles of marine power
plants, 2) ships’ auxiliary machinery,
and 3) general knowledge of marine
engineering terms) and A-III/2 (i.e. 1)
thermodynamics, 2) mechanics and
hydromechanics, 3) physical and
chemical
properties of fuel and
lubricants, 4) technology of materials,
5) heat cycle, thermal efficiency and
heat balance, 6) non-destructive
examination, and 7) refrigerators and
refrigeration cycles) of the STCW Code
are incorporated in the Standardized
Course Packages.
On the other hand, the STCW
Competences Map of the BSMT
Program (Attachment 01-B1) covers the
required competences under Table II/1
and some selected knowledge and
understanding from Table A-II/2, as
those are related to performance of
duties by OIC-NW onboard. Not all
competences of Table A-II/2 are being
covered
since
those
are
for
management level officers.
