Frequently Asked Questions
Pwede bang maging 3/E agad pagkatapos ng cadet practice?
Oo, kung may valid CoC III/1 at minimum 12 months sea service bilang Engine Cadet. Ang malalaking modern fleets (LNG, ULCV) ay kadalasang nangangailangan din ng previous 4/E experience.
Required ba ang High Voltage certificate para sa Third Engineer?
Mas nagiging mandatory na ang Basic HV — lalo na sa container vessels above 10,000 TEU, LNG carriers, at cruise ships. Para sa classic Bulk Carrier at General Cargo fleets, preferred ito pero hindi palaging mandatory.
Gaano kabilis mag-feedback ang companies?
Sa direct hiring system ng JobMarineMan , ang average feedback time mula sa Technical Superintendent ay humigit-kumulang 48 oras.
Gaano katagal dapat magtrabaho bilang 3/E bago ma-promote sa 2/E?
Officially — kailangan ang 12 months sea service at pagpasa sa required exams. Sa practice, karamihan sa companies ay mas gusto ang candidates na may 18–24 months experience sa quality vessels.
Sagot ba ng employer ang travel at certificates?
Sa karamihan ng kaso — oo. Flights, transfers, visas, at vessel-specific endorsements ay karaniwang covered ng employer. Ito ang standard sa direct hiring market.
