COMPASS continues to make way in the intensely competitive Philippine maritime education and training. The training institution, the first in Southeast Asia to earn accreditation from the global tanker group INTERTANKO as provider of Tanker Officers\u2019 Training Standard (TOTS), has again upstaged its competitors. It further strengthened its niche in the market as training provider for people serving onboard tankers with its latest course offering \u2013 Ship Inspection Report (SIRE) and Tanker Vetting Seminar.<\/p>

The two-day course aims at familiarizing the participants with the how and why\u2019s of SIRE, chartering, risk management, company inspections, inspection reports and their effective management. A welcome pioneering effort, the new course is the provider\u2019s response to an apparent need to assist companies whose marine officers need some help to enhance their performance onboard during vetting inspections.<\/p>

Last November 28-29, COMPASS commenced with the training course led by no less than the acknowledged guru of SIRE Program, Capt. David Savage, the person responsible for developing SIRE during his stint as SIRE manager of OCIMF (Oil Companies International Marine Forum, 1994-2009.\u00a0\u00a0He is the director of Winfield\u00a0Marine Services that specializes on Tanker Vetting and Training.<\/p>

His partner, Capt. James Lim, has been into chartering business of oil majors in the last 22 years after taking command of diverse types of vessels, provides the commercial implications of SIRE.\u00a0\u00a0His company, jJaana Services conducts seminars on chartering in Singapore, Vietnam, and only recently, in the Philippines. With such resource speakers, one could not get better people to handle the special course.<\/p>

Announced only two weeks prior, yet\u00a0close to 40 key officials\u00a0of crewing company mostly superintendents, training managers, senior marine officers both from deck and engine department showed up at JSU-AMOSUP Mariners\u2019 Home on Nakpil St. Malate, Manila to participate in the seminar.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Absolutely a must<\/strong><\/p>

Emphasizing the need for any tanker man to be familiar with SIRE, Capt. Savage, said it is \u201cabsolutely, totally imperative for the ships\u201d to perform well during vetting inspections. \u201cIt is not only the key to company\u2019s success, but also the (key to) company\u2019s survival,\u201d he emphasized. The outcome of the vetting as contained in SIRE could spell success or disaster to the vessel and its owners. Capt. James Lim said a bad vetting result or SIRE could lead to losses as customers mainly oil majors would not hire the vessel. The wealth of knowledge accumulated through the years of Capt. Savage while serving as OCIMF SIRE manager gives him an unmatched grasp of the common pitfalls and weaknesses besetting Filipinos seafarers during vetting that need to be corrected to enhance their performance during inspections. \u201cNervousness of officers\u201d and \u201csometimes timidity\u201d are just some of the few observations he gathered regarding the Filipinos conduct during SIRE inspections.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cThey make bad impressions (to inspectors),\u201d he commented.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Inspector\u2019s shoes<\/strong><\/p>

At the second day of the seminar, Capt. Savage disclosed that he would simulate inspection scenarios onboard. \u201cWe will walk around, physically walk around.\u00a0\u00a0We will take off our clothes; put on cover alls, hard hats and safety belts. \u00a0\u201cThey would put themselves on the inspector\u2019s shoes, approaching and boarding the vessel, discussion with the gangway watchman, interview with the master and the management team before inspection,\u201d explained Capt. Savage, who once certified qualified SIRE inspectors. \u201cThey will look at all the likely areas, where observations are maybe located,\u201d he said.\u00a0\u00a0They will do the \u201cwalk around\u201d using hundreds of photographs which support specific situations. Hence, participants to SIRE and Vetting Inspections Seminars would definitely learn invaluable lessons from both Capt. Savage and Capt. Lim who admittedly they were impressed by the facilities of COMPASS as well as its training staff.<\/p>

\u201c(And) we have seen the facilities; they have the latest equipment,\u201d said the 67-year old former OCIMF official, who is involved in charity work for seafarers through the Apostleship of the Sea (AOS). So far, we have good experience with them.\u00a0\u00a0We have spoken to the people; they are very professional,\u201d observed Capt. Lim. Companies that failed to send representatives to the seminar can look forward to the next batch early next year. \u201cWe plan to do it three times a year,\u201d\u00a0said Mr. Daks Villanueva, president of COMPASS, who was excited over the unexpected turnout of the first seminar despite the short notice. The tandem of Capt. Savage and Capt, Lim will be back, Mr. Villanueva promised.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
