Duty involves the central responsibility of secure steering
when the ship is at sea. The Deck Officer is also
in charge for the regular consignment in port. The
Shipment depends on the Deck Officer entirely.
There are other works like managing most of the
ship’s legal and commercial business. The
foreign crew activities; such as upkeep work, operation
of cargo instruction, fastening and anchoring operations.
It is very interesting and enlivening work. In order
to have full confidence at work, training programs
are conducted to set you on the right track of determination,
workable capability and competency!
The main theme concentrates on the fundamental knack,
shipboard adaptation, fire fighting, individual
alertness for survival and strengthening of all
kinds of arising difficult situations. A detailed
portfolio would be issued mentioning the various
tasks required to complete your training cadetship
session. This detailed portfolio would be handed
over to you just before the commencement of the
first sea training Phase.
There would be a hands-on training at sea, which
is scheduled after completion of the first phase
at maritime college. At sea the cadets are required
to put all their theories in practice. This training
phase ensures smooth and first hand knowledge of
work at sea.
There would be a hands-on training at sea which is scheduled for late December or early January. At sea the candidates are required to put all their theories in practice. This training session ensures a smooth and first hand knowledge of work at sea.
Henceforth training would be conducted both at college
premises and at sea. In due course the training
would gather and require more magnitude on the various
respected subjects.
After approximately three years you should qualify
as a Watch keeping Officer with an MCA/AMSA Certificate
of Competency. On successful completion of the courses
you will be awarded HND / Advanced Diploma in Nautical
Science and you'll receive the diploma itself on
completion of a further 12 months' service at sea.
Less than three - four years you'll find yourself
in sole charge of a ship in our ocean- going fleet
for eight hours a day. But that doesn't mean the
learning stops. On the contrary, as a serving officer
you'll continue expanding your knowledge, experience
and competence and eventually qualify for higher
level MCA/AMSA class 2 &1 Certificates. !
