No need to Study BSMT and BSMARE

Zero emissions and, soon, zero crew: the world's first fully electric autonomous cargo vessel was unveiled in Norway, a small but promising step toward reducing the maritime industry's climate footprint.
By shipping up to 120 containers of fertilizer from a plant in the southeastern town of Porsgrunn to the Brevik port a dozen kilometres (about eight miles) away, the much-delayed Yara Birkeland, shown off to the media on Friday, will eliminate the need for around 40,000 truck journeys a year that are now fuelled by polluting diesel.

"Of course, there have been difficulties and setbacks," said Svein Tore Holsether, chief executive of Norwegian fertiliser giant Yara.

"But then it feels even more rewarding to stand here today in front this ship and see that we were able to do it," he said, with the sleek blue-and-white vessel moored behind him in an Oslo dock, where it had been sailed for the event.

The 80-metre, 3,200-deadweight tonne ship will soon begin two years of working trials during which it will be fine-tuned to learn to manoeuvre on its own.

ASSESSMENT
MARINA hands Filipino seafarers a Christmas gift

SEAFARERS aspiring to become marine officers, both in the deck and the engine department, can now enjoy reviewing test questions for their respective theoretical examinations following the official launch of the MARINA Competency Reviewer Portal (CRP) by the Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA).

“You can review all the questions online,” MARINA Administrator VAdm Robert Empedrad assured all seafarers who want to become officers in his brief message during the launch today, November 18, 2021 of the MARINA CRP.

Under Republic Act No. 10635, MARINA is required to make public the test questions for the licensure examinations for deck and engine officers. There were attempts in the past to implement the law’s provision on text exams, but it was only under Administrator Emedprad and STCW Office Executive Director VAdm Rene Medina that it was fully and successfully implemented.

VAdm Empedrad said the launch, which is no doubt a milestone in the history of marine officers’ assessment, serves as MARINA’s Christmas gift to Filipino seafarers.

“Seafarer can now review wherever they are, kahit na sa ships pa sila. They can review for 360 hours and decide to take the exam anytime or even after a month,” Administrator Empedrad said.

His experience at the Philippine Navy has been handy as a model for the CRP. “Sa Navy, walang review centers. We were given the test questions and study them,” he said. Navy officers are required to take the examinations and passed them before they can be promoted.

During the launch, a tutorial and an actual demonstration on how to access the test questions and the use of the CRP were conducted.

Administrator Empedrad, however, clarified that the new set of test questions would only be used in the theoretical examinations scheduled starting January onwards, but aspiring officers may start reviewing the questions.
