MARINA issued Memorandum
Circular
Nos.
SC-2021-03
(Attachment 69) and 2021-06
(Attachment 70) on 11 February
2021 where the corresponding
Certificates of Competency (CoC)
already bear a QR Code, as an
additional feature, that will direct
the user to the Verification Portal of
the MARINA. After supplying the
Serial Number of the Certificate to
be verified, details of the certificate
such as (1) the name of the seafarer
to
whom
such
certificate,
endorsement or other qualification
was issued, its relevant number,
date of issue and date of expiry; (2)
the capacity in which the holder
may serve and any limitations
attached thereto; and (3) the
functions the holder may perform,
the levels authorized and any
limitations attached thereto will be
displayed. All Certificates issued
beginning 09 November 2021 are
verifiable through the MISMO
System. This is the result of the
corrective measures undertaken
pursuant to the said circulars.
The MISMO System was enhanced
to include a drop-down menu
where the Evaluator can select the
appropriate limitation for every
function (Attachment 71).
