Just want to make survey on how is the exposure of this career to malaysian people.

let me give a short brief about this career.

Onboard ship, we are separated into few department. here is the diagram about organization inside ship. credit to dukerobin for diagram.

this is a very rewarding career. almost the same as oil n gas industry.

the payscale is like this. this is not malaysian company. for malaysian company, the 4th engineer should be around usd2200. salary is tax free. meal provided. no need transportation. tax-free cigarette onboard.

based on the info, we all know that it is a rewarding career. but the problem is, how many know about it? haha. I also don't know about it until i finish spm and join this course.

that's why i'm making this survey to know how much student/graduate/parent are exposed to this career and at the same time introducing this career to those who don't know.

Comments are welcomed...

Opportunities to get into oil & gas(INSTEP)

destroyer — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 12:51:05 +0800

First of all. This is not an advertisement. Just that i come across this and some of you might not even realise it. It might be a chance to enter into oil & gas industries. And i like to restate that this is not an advertisement. Just want to share. I don't get any profit by introducing this. Just i wanted to help some of us here that might want to get involved in the oil & gas industry.

Some intro i got from some web(SKORCAREER)

Petronas today opens up its training program for Diploma graduates which will expose them to the oil and gas industry experience, mainly in the engineering and technical area.

In the program, successful candidates will undergo a so-called Petroleum Technology Program (PTP) course for a duration of 1 year. Trainees will also receive benefits that include training fees (so far amount undisclosed), subsistence allowance and accommodation.

The graduates are to be absorbed into different areas of operations and maintenance works for Petronas. Career disciplines offered are in the field of Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation,

Begin Your Career As A SEAFARER

destroyer — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 18:36:54 +0800

Hello everybody!

Since my last topic was closed because i mistakely make it look like an advertisement, so, I decided to open a new topic regarding career as a seafarer.

I'd like to introduce myself. I'm a student in Akademi Laut Malaysia(ALAM). I took diploma in marine engineering. The purpose i want to encourage more Malaysian into this industry is because we are currently lack of seafarer. Imagine, out of 6000 seafarers in malaysia, only 1000 are malaysians. The rest are foreigner.

First of all, what is seafarer?

-Seafarer is a person who carries various duties onboard ships. They will sail with the ship in order to transport goods that the customer want us to deliver.

-Btw, I'm just a student. And I only familiar with Marine Engineering and Nautical Course. Diploma of course. But if you have any doubts about this career. You can ask here. I'll try my best to answer it.

Where can I study the courses?

Right now, in Malaysia, there are three institutions of higher learning that provide sea-going course. Bare in mind that not all maritime related courses can ensure you to go sailing thus ensuring you to get the big bucks.

For example, in UMT, there are course called Degree in Nautical Studies & Maritime Management. They cannot sail as an officer unless they go for the cadetship practical onboard a ship.

Thats all, now I'll proceed into the institution part. There are few places to studies to prepare oneself to become sea-going officer/engineer.

1) Akademi Laut Malaysia(ALAM)
-Diploma in Marine Engineering(DNS)
-Diploma in Nautical Studies(DME)
-Marine Engineering Bridging Program(MEBP)*

2)Politeknik Ungku Omar
-Diploma in Marine Engineering

3)Sarawak Maritime Academy
-not sure about this. since they're just open this year

*for the Marine Engineering Bridging Program, the program just started this year. The cadets sponsored for this course are engineering related degree graduates. They are sponsored by MISC. If you miss the chance to apply during post-spm, but still want to pursue career onboard ship. You can apply this course. Btw, I'm not sure how to apply for it. But you can ask here and I can ask the bridging student about it.

*NOWADAYS, THERE ARE ALSO COMPANY SEEKING FOR MECHANICAL/MARINE ENGINEERING DEGREE GRADUATE TO DO THEIR CADETSHIP FOR 6 MONTH ONBOARD THEIR SHIP. AFTER COLLECTING SEATIME, THEY CAN TAKE THE ORAL TEST FROM MARDEP FOR CLASS 4 COC. I'LL TRY TO GET MORE INFO ABOUT THIS.

Benefits of becoming a SEAFARER

1) Rewarding career. Cheapest pay is around rm7500 for fresh graduates of diploma. Imagine that. In my place of study, there were also company headhunting by offering salary of USD4800.

2) Experience gained make it easier for you to apply job on oil platform since you have an offshore working experience.

3) can save a lot of money. onboard ship, no need car. no need to pay rental for accommodation. free meal(every week can eat western). no need money to go to gym. onboard ship, gym is provided. got tv, some ship have internet facilities. some got pool/snooker table.

many more... I'll tell you guys later on.
