စင္ကာပူမွာ အရာရွိ စာေမးပြဲေၿဖမယ္ဆုိရင္ http://ctgkolay.blogspot.com/
ကုိေလး ေရးထားတာအရင္ဖတ္ၾကည့္ပါ။ ၂၀၀၇ တုန္းက ေရးထားတာေပမယ့္
သိပ္အေၿပာင္းအလဲမရွိပါ။ *တရုတ္ၿပည္ေရာက္ေနတဲ့အတြက္ စာေရး ရတာ
အခက္အခဲရွိလုိ. word processing အဆင္မေၿပတာ စိတ္မေကာင္းပါခင္ဗ်ား။*

First, I would prefer to go through http://ctgkolay.blogspot.com/
written at 2007. (cheers bro!)

Update info from 2009 CoC2 Candidate (credit: ko.latt):

1. Course Fee Latest: 8400 S$ including GST 7%.
(increase 20% course fee starting from 2010 intake)
Pls confirm to sma@sp.edu.sg.

2. Early available intake: April 2011 (as of now)

3. Accommodation: 400 S$ per month for private shared
rooms including PUB(elec+water etc) at Clementi Area.
(Prefer to stay near to SMA, Dover even though accommodation
is a bit expensive than other parts of singapore. It is worthy
to pay more for accommodation to save time and travel expenses)

4. Meals & Personal Expenses: SMA Canteen food is pretty
cheap and efficient. (Standard Meal: Mac Spicy+ Up Side
Coke 5S$ only while 8S$ at outside) You can count on them
for Breakfast and Lunch while Dinner at your own will.
Smoking at Singapore is a bad habit as it costs 12S$ for a single
pack of Marlboro) In brief, 600S$ per month should be enough
not accounted for smoking, drinking and dating.

5. Transportation: needs to rely on expensive MRT. It is wiered
and unfair that SMA students have no privilege for SP-MRT student
card while the whole Singapore Polytechnics Students are enjoying
this benefit. It is like we are paying more and getting less than the
others. All SMA students should ask for this privilege to Director
or Higher Management.

6. Student Visa : Not required to apply Student Pass in advance
for normal case. Following Procedures to be observed:

a) Apply Form 16 from online. (http://www.ica.gov.sg)
b) Pay 30S$ by online payment.
c) After 3 working days, ICA will acknowledge FIN No.
d) Contact SMA and request Approval Letter from ICA.
e) Once received, it is done! Direct Entry to Singapore.

All after that follow instruction from SP to get Student ID Card
& Library Card.

7. Course Duration

a) 8 weeks lecture + 1st Term Exam + 8 weeks lecture + Final Exam
b) Simulator Exam followed up by Oral Exam

8. Course Modules

a) Navigation
b) Ship Stability & Construction
c) Maritime Law & Personal Management
d) Cargo Work
e) Marine Plants & Propulsion
f) Ship Maneuvering & Simulator
g) Compass, Gyro & Meteorology

9. Marking System

a) 1st Term Test 25% + Final Test 75%,
b) Pass Mark 60% for Navigation and Stability
c) Pass Mark 50% for other subjects
d) If failed final exam, "Resit Exam" FOC to failed subject.
e) If failed "Resit Exam", re-exam to failed subject until passed.
(200 S$ per module at each exam. To confirm updated info
at sma@sp.edu.sg)

10. LOE (letter of Eligibility for Oral Exam)

Once passed written exam, it is required to apply LOE
issued by MPA for Oral Exam and Simulator Exam.
You can personally go to MPA Alexander Road (Take
Bus 166 from SMA) along with all your certs or pass required
certs (photocopies) to MPA and apply on line from following
link under the label "e-Certification for seafarers"

http://www.mpa.gov.sg/sites/global_navigation/e-services/e_services.page

Please be advised sea time requirement by MPA for STCW 95 CoCs.

Bulk Carrier sank at paradip

It is in 12 sept 2009  fairplay. 37657 dwt loaded iron ore, bulker sank at paradip port. C/E is missing. 

The reason I m concerned about this sad news is ..ship type, size and even next intended cargo and next intended port ..  all are the same as my present ship. What is the immediate cause of sinking?? 

Possibilities are

1. Shifting of cargo 
2. Excessive stress and unequal cargo distribution
3. water ingress to holds or tanks from ballast line and detection system not working properly
4. Unconventional  trough wave (very rare)
5. Main engine and/or steering failure associated with heavy weather
6. Collision
7. Hull breach by underwater obstruction

But this vessel is not a Panamax or capesized ship n just a handy max which is considered to be the safest structural design and the most robust bulker among them all.

Let's hear from the experts and see what authorities find out.
