The IMMAJ-PJMCC Foundation and the Marine Technical College–Japan conducted a 5-day Junior Engineer Course from March 7, 2016 to March 11, 2016 at the JSU-AMOSUP Mariners’ Home, 1765 Vasquez St. Cor. Nakpil St., Malate, Manila

The course was attended by 40 Junior Marine Engineers who were endorsed by different manning agencies under the Philippine-Japan Manning Consultative Council (PJMCC).

After receiving reports from different ship owners that most of Filipino engineer officers working for them have weaknesses on boiler and diesel engine operations.  This course was developed.  It intends to enhance and upgrade officers’ knowledge on safe use and maintenance of maritime machineries.  The 5-day course was divided into two parts; 2.5 days for boiler operation lecture and 2.5 days for diesel engine operation lecture.

“So before, this same program was being delivered by certain manning companies. They were coordinating directly with Marine Technical College in Japan. But this time, the IMMAJ decided to hold consolidated delivery of the course that is why the foundation is involved in the organization and in the delivery. Of course all instructors come from Japan, the Marine Technical College,” said CE Wenifredo Sola, consultant of IMMAJ-PJMCC.  CE Sola added that the training was limited for only 40 participants and they will organize another batch during the first semester of this year.  He also said that the training was designed and developed by MTC-Japan and the course fees and materials used by the participants for the 5-day course were free of charge.
