High hellokity, Usually, mabakante lang ang isang seafarer ng 1 year nahihirapan ng makasakay. How much more ang 6 years gap? Mukhang marami kang dapat i-update lalo na ang SOLAS at SIRB mo and maritime training certificates. Also, you need to update your shipboard experience. One thing to consider is your age, how old are you na? If you're still below 35, then most likely pwede pa. But you need to fill-in the gaps for the years na wala kang shipboard experience. You can enroll sa mga maritime training centers to update your shipboard experience. There are some consultancy firms na nagtatak ng sirb to update your experience. But be very careful, yung iba bogus.

hi sir paul, ask ko lang po kung ano requirements sa cruise ship?stewardess po balak ko applyan o kaya housekeeper. College grad po ako pro yung experience ko sa work e sa office lng TPOS LESS 1YR P, PERO GUSTO ko po tlg magtrabaho sa cruise.

*may height requirements po b tlg?
*at ano po requirements and training na dapt ko kunin?
*mas ok po ba kung kumuha na po ako ng training BAGO ako magApply (vice versa)?
*may chance po b kung less 1 year experience (office work)?[/b

[b]sana po mapansin nyo ang tanong ko
THANK YOU PO SA TULONG AND SORRY PO KUNG MASYADONG MARAMING TANONG..

*may height requirements po b tlg? - Yes and No. Depende sa position that you're applying. May mga positions na may height req. and there are some do not. If Ship Stewardess, Yes may height requirement. If housekeeper, depende sa section. But medyo lenient sila pag dating sa housekeeping positions. Depende lang yan sa agency.
*at ano po requirements and training na dapt ko kunin? No.1 requirements is SIRB (Seaman's Identification Record Book) in short Seaman's Book. pero bago ka makakuha nyan need mo ng Basic Safety Training Courses or SOLAS Training. N0.2 Other maritime trainings as required by the agency estimated cost is around 25 to 35K
*mas ok po ba kung kumuha na po ako ng training BAGO ako magApply (vice versa)? - There are some trainings na pwede mo ng kunin before kang mag-apply. Having this trainings has disadvantage and advantage for you. Disadvantage, kasi magagastusan ka agad. Advantage, ready kana sa mga trainings na required. Kapag may urgent vacancy madali kang ma line-up. But you have to know what are those trainings na pwede mo nang kunin at yung wag muna.
*may chance po b kung less 1 year experience (office work)?[/b - It's hard to say kung may chance or wala. Minsan kasi nasa luck ng tao yan at determination. But it would help alot if you have related experience sa position na inaapplyan mo. Don't worry you don't need to quit your job to gain this experience. May mga maritime training centers na nagbibigay ng shipboard training program which are considered or co-equal with a sea-experience. You will be given a certificate of sea-service that is equivalent to certificate of employment. I suggest, if you want to push through with this kuha ka muna ng SOLAS training or Basic Safety Training para magkaron ka ng idea about Buhay Marino.

I hope nakatulong ako kahit konti.

hi! po Sir Paul, Nabasa ko po yung mga post dito and na noticed ko po na madami po kayong natutulungan through advice. Sir, I really need your advice po kasi as now medyo di ko po alam kung may chance pa ako na makapagbarko. Naka grad po ako nung year 2008 pero di ko po natuloy yung pag sakay kahit na nakapag solas na po ako and nakuha ko po yung seaman's book ko dahil sa family business po. Ako po kasi ang nag asikaso dahil di po matutukan ng parent's and brother ko. As now po sir I'm 30 years old without exp. Ang naging experience ko lng po sa barko nun nung nag sea trip po kami. nag duduty din po kami every 4 hours and we do a lot of Plotting, look out, timon etc sa Negros Navigation (Passenger Vessel). Sir I really need your advice po kung ano po ba dapat kong gawin? and kung may change pa po ba para sa age ko na 30 without experience? tnx in advance po.

Good day to you sir Paul!
Salamat ang dami kung natutunan sa forum na ito, the tips you shared are definitely helpful para sa mga tulad ko na nangangarap makapag barko. Similar lang din naman situation ko sa karamihang gusto mag seaman. Naka pag solas ako last month sa psmma sa cavite ang site nakuha ko narin BST cert ko, gusto ko na kumuha ng SIRB kaso nalilito ako sa requirements ng marina. Kailangan parin ba talaga ng CAV galing ched? Nursing grad kasi ako may TOR na halos complete ko na lahat req. for SIRB yung CAV lang wala. May nabasa kasi ako sa isang forum ng hindi na daw hiningi ng marina CAV ng aplikante nung pumunta TOR lang. Medyo nag aalangan ako pumunta sa marina baka masayang lang punta ko kulang pala dala ko docs. Mahirap po ba kumuha ng CAV.

May concern din po ako sa trainings na dapat ko i-take.

Sir anu po kaya mas maganda unahin, yung onboard ship training na 2-6 months sa psmma o yung messman/steward training muna sa Tesda? For sure kukunin ko both eventually for on-board experience and my COC sake, but I was just wondering what is the best way to go first.

May nabasa din po ako regarding sa onboard training na ino-offer ng mga maritime training center, is it true na hanggang 2 months lang sagot ng school if you take the 2-6 months program? And then it will just depend on the ships management if they want to extend your training duration to 6 months?

I hope you can help me out regarding my inquiries sir thank you in advance.

"Mahaba pa talaga ang lalakarin ko bago maging seaman, pero okey lang tanaw ko naman ang barko sa unahan"...

Magandang Araw po Sir Paul, Ask ko lang po...

meron pobang Shipping Company, or maritime Agency na tumatanggap ng applicants na libre po ang apprenticeship for Messman, halos
po kase lahat ng school and agency na tanungan ko eh may minimum fee na 12k pataas kung mag aaprenticeship ka sa ship nila...

meron pong nagsabi na ibang seaman na tinanungan ko na meron din nmang libre na apprenticeship kso, wala papo hiring sa knila ngaun...

meron napo ako mga certificates na req. para sa messman position na inaapplyan ko, malaki laki nren po nagastos ko... kaya hirap nako i support ang payment na 12k for aprentceship.. meron poba kayo alam na company na pede applyan ng libre?

maraming salamat po =)

thank you po pala sa pinost mo na topic, very informative po at marami ako natutunan. talagang kelangan konlng ng experience para matupad pangarap ko na makapagtrabaho sa barko... highschool graduate lng po ako at 26years old nren po
