Training

This is an old post, please go to the article below to be updated on getting a Seaman's Book in the Philippines



One of the most important requirements of being a seaman in the Philippines is having a Seaman's book or SIRB (Seafarer's Identification AND Record Book).  This book details everything about a seaman's career experience and training, it is also regarded as seaman's passport but obviously this cannot replace a passport being issued by the government.  This particular book is unique only for seafarers.

Information pertaining to name of vessel, official number and place of registry, gross tonnage, rank, date of place of embarkation and disembarkation, signature of master.  These are the standard information you will see in a seaman's book or (SIRB).

To be able to secure your own Seman's book, you have to file necessary documents at Maritime Industry Authority (Marina) located at PPL Bldg., 1000 U.N. Ave. cor San Marcelino, Manila, Philippines.

Documents needed
  • Transcript of Record (High School TOR for High School Graduates) (College TOR for College Graduates)
  • School Diploma (High School Diploma for High School Graduates ) (College Diploma for College Graduates)
  • Certificate of Authentication and Verification (CAV) from DECS or CHED
  • Birth Certificate from NSO
  • NBI Clearance - visa seaman
  • 2 pcs Passport size colored picture with white background
  • Basic Safety Course Certificate ( SOLAS)
  • P550 for 3 day processing or P750 for one day processing.

  2. can i use my passport instead of my Birth certificate?

    ReplyDelete
  3. I believe NSO certified birth certificate is an important document required for the application. Better include it in your documents for application so that you would not have a hard time getting your seaman's book.

    You can order your birth certificate online from NSO in this link.

  10. Q: please help wat to do next my wife is taking a cooking course at tesda and after a month she'l graduate. we plan and both agreed that she must proceed a seamanship course or training to be able for her to board. Our problem is the school and the assurance after taking that training... can you help us find a a school that s low in tuition?

    ReplyDelete
  11. I guess you're talking about school for SOLAS. There are a lot of schools offering this training, their rates varies and I cannot assure which one is the cheapest. Sometimes when you go for the cheapest you'll get the most lax training. The one thing you should look for a training center is if it's accredited by MARINA. Please see the accredited agencies in their website. http://marina.gov.ph/stcw/index.html

It will discuss everythibg specially in survival training. Even an gold medal swimmers awardie canot survival if he or she didnt know the basic survival.

  42. Sa mga kukuha po ng bst or basic seamans training pede kayo mag training for only 5000 for 1 week sa sims check nyo po sa google saan maaring mag training or sa macapagal kung under kayo ng macapagal agency. Ang sims naman dapat araw araw nyo po pasukan bawal ang under table sa sims for certificate pag 1 araw lang kayo d pumasok mag make up class pa kayo bayad uli ng 250 pesos. Kaya bawal ang pala absent sa sims. Sana naka tulong ako. Gandang araw sa lahat
