Table A-II/2 of Section A-II/2 of the
STCW
Code
includes
the
competence “Plan and ensure safe
loading, stowage, securing, care
during the voyage and unloading
of cargoes” and requires in its
column 2 KUP on ‘Ability to
establish procedures for safe cargo
handling in accordance with the
provisions
of
the
relevant
instruments such as IMDG Code,
IMSBC Code, MARPOL 73/78
Annexes III and V and other
relevant information’.
Table A-II/2 of Section A-II/2 of the
STCW
Code
includes
the
competence “Monitor and control
compliance
with
legislative
requirements and measures to
ensure safety of life at sea, security
and the protection of the marine
environment” and the necessary
KUPs for this competence.
However, the syllabi of the
courses ‘SEAM 2’ and ‘SEAM 6’
offered by Cristal E-College and
the syllabus of the course ‘SEAM
122’ delivered by the University of
Cebu, which were designed to
address the above-mentioned
competences, do not include the
International Code on Intact
Stability,
2008,
and
the
International
Convention
on
Load Lines, 1966, as reference
material for those courses, as
required by the KUPs specified in
column 2 of Table A-II/2 of
Section A-II/2 of the STCW Code
for the competence referred to
above. Hence, the lack of this
reference material does not
ensure that the prescribed
standard of competence is
achieved.
However, the syllabus of the
course delivered by the PMI
Colleges addressing the function
‘Cargo handling and stowage at
the management level’ including
dangerous goods, which is
designed to cover the abovementioned competence does not
include
the
International
Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes
(IMSBC) Code as reference
material, which is required by the
KUPs
for
the
competence
referred to above. Hence, the
lack of this reference material
does not ensure that the
prescribed
standard
of
competence is achieved.
