An FAA lawyer has filed a response to the question as to what “supervision” means in terms of non certified mechanics/learners/apprentices. The lawyers response is no less than a literal translation that has no scope for whats been practiced by industry and the FAA since shortly after WWII. Industry pushback on this issue in the USA will be vigorous. Here in Canada we have for the most part, operated using a similar practice for supervision of unlicenced “hands on aircraft”workers as in the USA. Call them what you may but most fall into experienced mechanics or learners, whether they are AMT grads or self starters. I conciously avoid the terms “apprentices” and “apprenticeships” given thats a description of a learner reserved for the provinces red seal programs. The FAA interpretation is radical in its suggestion that generations of precedence and the general acceptance of the status quo to date is challenged.

Government of India must review seatime as 1/3rd instead of Zero for Cadets on Offshore Vessels 499 grt: Request from Capt Prashar Jul 24 I wrote to DG Shipping, if you support, pls share and write to DG Shipping. Owners asked me to place Deck Cadet on Offshore vessel. 499 grt, sailing in FG , Indian Waters. His seatime is zero. I feel it's Bad rule and should be removed. Kindly consider this as voice for Offshore Ship Cadets NT exam Cir 01/2010, Offshore Vessels less than 500 grt states ZERO Seatime for Cadets. Surprisingly Shipping Development Cir 1/2013 says trainees be placed. Pls review as it Helps employment and exam time for Cadets. Pls consider 1/3rd seatime. Capt Sanjay Prashar

All said and done it’s worthwhile if the recommendation is implemented. Let’s not assume that DG Shipping is not in a mood to see growth and progress of Indian Seafarers. You cannot deny the fact that a lot has been done in the past few years for the betterment of seafarers. It’s only that the ideas will add to the purpose and goals for the industry development will definitely be absorbed/heard, discussed and implemented. This is possible only if such suggestions are raised in the right forum and to the appropriate competent authority. Iam sure Capt Sanjay alongwith with many of our seafarers in top positions with a good rapport will take up all such matters with the DG Shipping. In the coming years let each one of us contribute in making the Indian Maritime Industry vibrant and proud.

In the rapidly evolving maritime industry, the question of whether new age training should replace conventional training or build upon it is crucial. This presentation explores the role of conventional training in the new age, the troubleshooting capabilities of new age training, and the human element in new age training. We will examine how these approaches can be integrated to create a comprehensive and effective training program for maritime seafarers. #MaritimeTraining #SeafarerSkills #ConventionalApproach #NewAgeApproach #FutureofSeafaring
