FOREWORD

In June 1998, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) implemented a

new structure as well as new curricular for education towards a Bachelor of
Science degree in Marine Transportation. These changes were made to comply
with the amendments made to the International Convention on Standards of
Training and Watch keeping for Seafarers of 1978 (STCW ’98 ) and adopted by
the International maritime Organization ( IMO ) in July 1995.

The goal of this sea project is to guide, monitor and provide knowledge to every
cadet midshipman / woman needed to meet the requirements stated in CHED’s
syllabus. Every reasonable effort has been made to ensure that the information
provided is relevant and presented in a logical way.

Bearing in mind that technical and socio-economical development is constantly

introduced and implemented in the shipping industry. These developments and
its implementations must also be reflected and use in teaching aids.

Any comments, corrections, revisions, of this Sea Project Book for

improvements, updates, and developments from officers and graduates are
welcome and will be highly appreciated.

THE PMMA SHIPBOARD TRAINING PROGRAM

As part of the professional training, each cadet participates in a cooperative educational

program consisting of a sea year of two phases on commercially operated merchant ships.

The first month shall be a period of orientation followed by the first phase, second phase, and
the last month for review and polishing up. Each cadet generally trains on one vessel. They
thereby become familiar with the performance and operating characteristics of various classes
of ships and with the diverse operating requirements with different trade routes while at the
same time gaining valuable practical experiences in the performance of shipboard duties. The
second phase covers the minimum competencies which are required for OIC’s. As an
understudy to an Officer in Charge, the cadets should have been prepared to undertake the
duties and responsibilities of one.
These shipboard duties consist of 8 hours ship work and 2-4 hours watches daily that ratings
normally follows. In short they are primarily crewmembers first and third year BSMT
students second. After their duties pursue their tasks and assignments as laid down in their
study guides for at least 2 ½ hours daily.

The shipboard training program provides all cadets with the opportunity to use ship as a sea
going laboratory. Deck Cadets are given a study guide called ‘SEA PROJECT’ and are
required to complete written assignments which are submitted to the Department of
Shipboard Training for evaluation and grading. The assignments are carefully designed to
ensure that while aboard ships, cadet midshipmen/women apply the knowledge learned in the
academy classrooms. What is most important is the cadets to acquire a firm foundation for
advance study upon their return to PMMA.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR SUCESSFULLY COMPLETING THE SEA PROJECT

1. The most important aspect of the Sea Project is that, it is the only record of your
accomplishment during the sea year. As such you should demonstrate your
competence by addressing all areas of the project thoroughly, answering all questions
poised, and recording same accordance with the instructions. Whenever you use
materials from some sources other than your own observations, be sure to footnote or
backnote same.
2. Read the sea project manual thoroughly before going to sea, understand the
instructions, and ask any questions during your scheduled sea project lecture.
3. The work on some parts of this project should start on day one. Identify these parts
beforehand and commence accordingly.
4. Carry a small pocket notebook with you at all times and makes frequent notes of your
observations and research throughout the day. These notes can be referred to when
you complete your final draft of the project.
5. Typewritten projects are usually neat and easy to read. This is of course preferable.
However, a handwritten project is acceptable provided it is readable.
6. All computational work on navigation problems be submitted and each problem
clearly labeled. The use of calculators is not prohibited but the step by step
computations must be shown. Special navigational calculators are widespread but you
are urged to use these devises only in addition to the regular hand calculators required
for most navigational problems. All navigational work should be submitted, even if it
is not a perfect solution. Perfection will come with practice.

4
7. Diagrams are most helpful and should be used whenever possible. Photos are also
enhancing to a project but they can not take the place of a thorough investigation of a
topic or event.
8. Do not stow your sea project in your sea bag. Carry it by hand, and by all means, do
not lose it. It is your only record of work performed at sea. The loss of such record
will result in a considerable amount of remedial work and probably return to sea to
repeat the project.
9. Do not copy the work of other cadets. This may give you a project to submit but it
will absolutely deprive you of an education; the very reason for the sea year.
Remember also that the license exam often addresses sea experiences. If you have not
‘experienced ’ but instead copied someone else’s work, you will very likely suffer
accordingly on the license exam
10. All aspects of your sea project must be submitted and passed successfully as a pre-
requisite for graduation.

 SEA PROJECT

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS FOR VESSEL PARTICULARS AND STUDY GUIDE

For EACH vessel you serve on, no matter how long the time period, you must HAVE the
following completely filled in:

1. Vessel particulars and certificate pages.

2. Steering experiences sheet ( must be signed by the Master )
3. Work experience sheet ( must be signed by the Master )
4. Required pages filled out for each section
5. One port information form ( Do not repeat ports )
6. Cargo transfer log if on a tanker

You are REQUIRED to keep a DAILY JOURNAL, for each vessel, that you will submit on
your return to the academy.

When your sailing period is over, you should have a journal for each vessel that has the above
requirements filled in. Those journals will be examined by the Department of Marine
Transportation for the required elements. Failure to fully complete the required entries will
count heavily against your grades for that sailing period. Your daily journal will be returned
to you with a few marks.

NOTE: You are to fill in information by hand in your DAILY JOURNAL. Use black
erasable ink pen and print neatly. Sketches and photographs can be included in your journals
The study guide provides general subject areas and some specific questions that you should
explore during your sea year. You should use the guide to start research into a topic and study
the subject in depth. Upon return to the Academy, you may be asked questions such as those
in the sea project or other ones related to the topic as part of your oral or written exam.

Certain topics will have specific instructions that go beyond the general guidelines. You
should read the entire book thoroughly prior to boarding your first ship so that you have an
understanding of what will be required of you during the coming months at sea. In that way
you can plan ahead and take advantage of learning opportunities as they occur.

The failure to submit a Daily Journal for each vessel WILL result in the grade of ‘F’ for the
sea project during that sailing period. You will not be allowed to sit for the oral/written exams
and you should expect to remediate the sailing period or possibly be expelled from the
academy for being academically deficient.

It is highly recommended that you use the remainder of your Journal to answer the questions
and research the topics in your study guide. During the oral/written exam, most of the
questions will be almost identical to the ones in the study guide. These guidelines apply to all
deck sea projects.
Your grade for the sea project will be assigned after an examination in each subject area. The
grade will be based on the exam and your submission of the required journal. Be advised that
the only certain way to ‘ace’ the exams is to completely answer all the questions and

7
thoroughly learn about the subject matter. In essence this project is truly a ‘self study’
educational process. The success or failure rest heavily on your shoulder.

You may find yourself with a certain amount of free time. We strongly recommend that you
engage in professional and general reading as well as leisure activities such as movies. The
relaxed, isolated environment while at sea is very conducive to reading.

The vast majority of you are being sent to what is for you, a totally new environment that
will, in various degrees, astound, frighten, and yes even bore you at times. Try to fill the
boring moments with as many new learning experiences as possible. If properly done, your
new project will require considerable effort and time. However, it will in the future greatly
aid you in further academic studies at the academy as well as preparing you for the license
exam.

Work diligently at the sea project on a routine schedule and it will progress with a normal
amount of effort. We recommend a minimum of two hours a day. If you attempt to wait until
your last two weeks aboard or just prior to your return to the academy, you will be
overwhelmed. You will not be able to complete the requirements and will do poorly in the
exam.

Take advantage of every opportunity to learn both afloat and ashore. We highly recommend
that you explore the ports and countries you visit to learn about their natural history and
industry

NAVIGATION SEA PROJECT

The purpose of the Navigation Sea Project is to enable the Deck Cadets to implement,
refine and develop proficiency in the navigational techniques and calculations learned in the
academy. The cadet records his navigation work in a workbook throughout his or her time
aboard ship. As such, the workbook should be maintained in a professional manner.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Your navigation workbook should cover everyday aboard ship whether in port or at sea. Daily
entries are required to show the position of the vessel at noon, course and speed if any, ports
to and from, or the port presently visited. The at sea position may be determined by celestial
or electronic fixes, or by deduced reckoning. In any event, a position must be shown for
every day of the sea year.

Refer to the instructions on the following pages as appropriate for specific guide lines as to
the minimum requirements for a navigation sea project. Read these guidelines before you go
to sea and start your project immediately.

SEA PROJECT EXAM

Upon your return to the academy at the end of the sea year, you will take a comprehensive
navigation exam. The exam will be scheduled upon your return from sea. You will submit
your sea project workbook at the door on your way into the exam. Failure to submit
workbooks will result in the grade of ‘F’. The exam will comprise your entire grade for the
Navigation Sea Project.

It is most probable that the result of your exam will be a true reflection of your proficiency in
Navigation. The more work you do at sea, the more likely you will do in your exam. If you
do not use the time at sea to your advantage, you will find the exam to be most trying.

IF YOU FAIL the Navigation Sea Project Exam, you may meet with one of the Navigation
professors at the academy for a review of your workbooks to determine how you could have
failed the exam. Your workbook will be reviewed for quantity and quality. If, for example, it
can be shown that at sea you were doing your azimuths often and correctly, but under
pressure of the exam, you were not able to get the answer accurately. The optional review
must be arranged by appointment and must be made within 14 days of the posting of
navigation sea project grades.

Navigation Sightbook -Provide a workbook dedicated to document your works involving

sights, azimuths, amplitudes, course distances and miscellaneous navigations calculations. It
is emphasized that cadets get adequate practice in using the sextant and be familiar with
traditional methods of navigation in addition to using modern navigational aids.

Daily Journal – Document the Day’s Work in port or at sea. The cadet shall describe the
learning achieve by doing the daily work.

Training Log Book – One Training Log Book will be issued to the cadets. The purpose of
this log book is to document details of every Drill, video, CBT, and other training carried out

12
on board ship. The cadet shall make a summary of the learning attained, tasks and
competencies will be recorded in this book. Designated training officers can review the
progress of the cadet, as for every task there is affixation of their signatures, affirming the
progress made by the cadets.

The Training starts when the cadet boards his first vessel. Divided into 2 Phases. The First
Phase is a period of a minimum of 5 months in which extents is composed mainly of
familiarizations, general maintenance work and routine task at a support level. Task are
assigned as written or worked individually by the cadet as deck works and practical training

The 2nd Phase is a continuation of the cadet’s training which is now a period wherein he
should have learned both the rudiments of both the Support and Operational level. The
Training Officers by this time introduce him to higher level of learning and responsibility. He
is now an understudy to an Officer. The Objective now is to prepare the cadet for his next role
in his chosen career. Given more responsibility, and participation, he now re-work his prior
works in navigations, stability, cargo works, safety and ship operations.

When the Training Objectives have been met, the Training Officer must sign in the training
schemes. It is also suggested that the Training Officer add remarks regarding the progress of
cadets, and / or recommendations with respects to the cadets having fulfilled the minimum
requirements for their Training and education. At the end of the cadet’s training, the master
may affix his approval of the cadets progress by lending his overall assessment and
recommendations.

 The Training Guide Lines

The 2nd Phase of The Training Record is to be accomplished by all trainees in order to be
admitted to the 4th year of the Corps of Midshipmen. At least 5 months of training in the 1st
Phase will have enabled the cadet a working knowledge on all basic ship routine and
operations, with the ship as a learning laboratory, and the numerous tasks and discipline, a
hands-on the job training. The numerous written task and project work in that period will
have been sufficient to prepare the cadets for the 2nd Phase which is a but a continuation, yet
more emphasized is the
active participation of the student in a higher level of learning. Now he is an understudy to an
officer. The learning field is now focus on the Officer’s role in Bridge Procedures regarding
Voyage Planning, Ship operations, cargo calculations, handling , stowage & care, Ship’s
control on equipments, safety of persons on board, including emergency procedures ,GMDSS
communications both internal and external, and lastly, Security of the vessel.

Here now to be accomplished are actual planning, demonstration, documentations,

calculations and conducting of the operations carried out by an officer in the Support Level.
This last phase the student will submit projects which will enable him to truly appreciate the
accomplishment gained while serving on board as a Deck Cadet.

The OBJECTIVE in carrying out projects during the sea year is to ensure that a cadet gains
knowledge of the ship’s routines, equipments carried on board, their location, operations and
their limitations, his duties and responsibilities to his own personal safety. In a number of
cases, he is encouraged to seek guidance from his ship officers to obtain this objective.

The Onboard Training Officer responsible for the cadet’s training, reviews evaluates the
competence of the cadets and recommends any further training the cadets has to undergo. A
Review of Cadet’s Training Progress is included in the last page of this book.

FOREWORD

In June 1998, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) implemented a

new structure as well as new curricular for education towards a Bachelor of
Science degree in Marine Transportation. These changes were made to comply
with the amendments made to the International Convention on Standards of
Training and Watch keeping for Seafarers of 1978 ( STCW ’98 ) and adopted by
the International maritime Organization ( IMO ) in July 1995.

The goal of this sea project is to guide, monitor and provide knowledge to every
cadet midshipman / woman needed to meet the requirements stated in CHED’s
syllabus. Every reasonable effort has been made to ensure that the information
provided is relevant and presented in a logical way.

Bearing in mind that technical and socio-economical development is constantly

introduced and implemented in the shipping industry. These developments and
its implementations must also be reflected and use in teaching aids.

Any comments, corrections, revisions, of this Sea Project Book for

improvements, updates, and developments from officers and graduates are
welcome and will be highly appreciated.
