movie , video games , actually you dont have that much free time , u work on shift , and during rest hour , you will try to get enough sleep

You already have good and decent job lol

hi everyone , sorry for not replying your inquiry via pm.
i was at sea for 6 month.
if you have any question , just ask here , maybe someone can answer when im away

Hopefully everyone of you manage to pass the interview and enter alam as cadet.
Goodluck to those has join the journey.

To my fellow batch friends! I still can remember when we first met during the first day hahaa..
Now everyone so busy all over the world lol.
Life will never be the same again .
Anything can tag me if want to ask anything , i will try to assist if im available.
This career is very wide , a lot of new things u never heard or know exist.

Good day mate,
U r from electrical background , why dont u become an electrician onboard a vessel?
Stcw 2010 have certificate of competency for electrician onboard the vessel , which require to take oral with marine department. You may check with mardep what is the requirement to take the oral examination .

For your information , onboard dp vessel electrian known as ETO . They r the person who taking care of dp system .
I ve work with eto earning up to 450 usd per day . Lastime eto did not have such high salary , bt with current new type of vessel operating dp system , they are high demand job with good salary. Some new vessel only operating using electrical power instead of main engine.

Do your research , you might find something interesting

Goodluck

trust me the 18k is worth since eto is high demand.

for the basic course u can try pelita which whole course for basic training is rm2500.
and for firstimer onboard you require ship security awareness around rm700

for eto , who going to take coc with mardep , u need to apply seaman card and also discharge book.
u can check with mardep


other than that for the coc , u require additional course , advance fire fighting and modular survival craft
advane fire fighting around 2k and same goes to mscr . you can check with alam or pelita.
pelita usually offer the cheaper rate , but alam have more intense training.

do ur research , by 1st january 2017 , all eto onboard require coc.
if you get sponsorship with company , ur paycheck wont be the same as those working without sponsorship.

most sponsor from misc or aet , jump to another company due to long term of onboard and salary.
the social life is different onboard different type of vessel , between merchant and offshore.

goodluck!

well, not easy with current market status due to oil price.
same process , u need to go onboard as rating .
to become rating u need atleast 6 month to obtain the watchkeeping rating from marine department.
then u apply for the wkr,
after that collect seatime as oiler onboard vessel
then only you can apply for coc.

to go onboard same principal.
seamanbook , seaman card , basic training , ship security awareness.

then if going for tanker take the tanker basic course ,
if going for offshore do the bosiet course and some additional depend on company.

goodluck.. very tough market for beginner to start stepping stone in this industry

1. The cadethsip program is always the fastest way to get ur coc compared to going onboard as rating.
2. Im not sure about this one , but better for you to go for the cadetship program.
3.after passing the interview, and u get sponsored. It always depend on your company , bt remember u have a long 3 years of cadetship to go throught.. most sponsored cadet will get job immediate after completion. That the reason why they sponsor u anyway.
4.im a selfpaid cadet myself, and now work as freelance. I have work for 2 years , i have no issue with job , longest period between contract was only 3 month . That is also because i was jumping from merchant to offshore

The oldest i have seen in alam was 24 years old , and be graduating at 27.
IT , well .. u have to join as rating , bt not gonna be easy due to current market. Less ship is on hire

Wish you all the best, do not hesitate to ask me any question if in doubt.
Just another seaman helping another

goodluck with your shipberth , dont be choosy. Accept whatever offer they give you,
now is the era of no demand haha

masih disini membantu anak anak muda yg ingin kelaut .

since kau ada sini kindly assist mana yg kau lebih tahu.
thank you mate

He said that maybe because the oil price drop , whole industry goes down for now. Not a good time now , most company suffering lost. We are no longer able to demand for good pay like last time , as the market has been flooded.

Yes u can. Before you sign the agreement

Test will be math n english and physic spm standard.
Interview will aak you read an article and explain what you understand
Then question like why u want to join alam.
Then some question on computer to see you are a leader or team player

Yes obviously . Same as any other university and college

im working onboard local company , offshore supply vessel. we do pay tax, no issue with loan as long your CTOS score is good.

since your age already exceed the minimum age to join as cadet. the only option you have is to join as rating, collect your seatime , and do 6 months courses for WKO or WKE. then you will get your COC .

U need to attend courses basic training , and security awareness. Then u need to sail as os or able bodied atleast 2 year seatime before you can enroll for wko or wke which class is about 6 month. And you have few courses under stcw u need to attend before. Then seat for oral examination at marine department. Once you pass , u will get you coc. Either ur wko or wke.. but this path you will be anble to get near coastal coc instead of foreign going coc.
