Seafarers Department Circular SDC-16-04 dated November 30,2016
Considering the lack of adequate control for the issuance of certificates of competence issued by seafarer agents under the previous administration and in view of the absence of procedures for the issuance of CoCs in accordance with provisions of the STCW Convention as amended by the 2010 Manila Amendments, the Seafarers Department being in charge of giving full force to the provisions of the STCW convention and taking into consideration all of the above mentioned, has determined as an urgent solution, that all IMMARBE Certificates of Competence for Deck and Engine Officers and ratings alike issued with an expiration date beyond January 1st, 2017 will not be considered valid after December 31st 2016.
