To address Grievance 19 which
pertains to MHEIs not keeping
records to ensure verification of the
completion of the compulsory
watchkeeping duties by the
students, Section 3.1.3.vii provides
that copies of all OBT records of
students, including monitoring
records, shall be maintained and
retained for at least 3 years from
the completion of students’ OBT,
for verification purposes.
The
existing Daily Journal forms used in
documenting the performance of
mandatory watchkeeping duties
were improved by requiring
students to reflect the key areas
learned during the watch.
Also,
a
List
of
Bridge
Watchkeeping
Duties
(Attachment 01-H2) and List of
Engine-room
Watchkeeping
Duties (Attachment 01-H3) based
on Chapter VIII of the STCW Code
were provided in the Daily Journal
Forms.
These lists were provided to guide
the
students
in
properly
accomplishing the forms to ensure
not to include entries that are not
related to watchkeeping tasks;
