KEY AREA 2
●
●
The syllabus of the course on deck
watchkeeping delivered by the
Our Lady of Fatima University
specifies the training time in the
navigation laboratory. However,
the actual training time carried
out in the navigation laboratory
was half the time specified in the
syllabus because the carrying
capacity of the navigation
laboratory
had
not
been
calculated. Furthermore, there
was no evidence of attendance
or delivery of any training at the
laboratories in the Our Lady of
Fatima University.
The course syllabus on voyage
planning delivered by the John B.
Lacson
Foundation
Maritime
University requires the BMST
students to prepare and evaluate
route plans fully, considering all
conditions. However, the students
were required to complete only
one exercise on voyage planning,
focusing on inserting waypoints,
which is not consistent with the
exercises
specified
in
the
relevant course syllabus.

●
The course syllabi in John B. Lacson
Foundation Maritime University
require the use of simulators,
laboratories
and
equipment.
However, the students use those
facilities only half of the training
time specified in the course
syllabi.
Hence, as evidenced by the fact
that
practical
training
at
laboratories
and
workshops
carried out by the above MHEIs
do not follow the course syllabi,
the MHEIs, MARINA and CHED do
not fully ensure that the training
is
conducted,
monitored,
evaluated and supervised, as
required by Regulation I/6 of the
STCW Convention and Section AI/6.1 of the STCW Code, and do
not fully ensure a continuous
monitoring of all training and
assessment activities to ensure
achievement of the defined
objectives,
as
required
by
Regulation I/8.
