Senior Positions & Promotions
Q. For what type of
vessels are you supplying senior officers?
A. LPG, Oil/Chemical, Container & Baco vessels. We are
actively encouraging our Junior Officers and Engineers to
upgrade their Certificate of Competency and to gain the necessary
practical experience whilst onboard in order to be promoted
into senior positions on these vessels.
Q.
How can I get promoted?
A. First of all you must hold the necessary documentation
required for the higher position and then it is down to you
to demonstrate your ability/suitability for the next rank.
Master or Chief Engineer will advise your employer by the
Appraisal Report system, a copy of which is made available
in Manila. BSM-CSC-PH does not support direct requests for promotion,
however if you have a recommendation for promotion our Fleet Personnel Dept will introduce you for the higher position next contract.
Q. How
are the promotion prospects with your company?
A. Very good, our fleet is growing rapidly and we are always
looking for good quality seafarers to man our vessels.
Q. Does
the company offer study loans to assist us to take higher
licence examinations?
A. Yes, many of our employers do offer study loans for Officers
that have served with them – more details are available
from your Fleet Personnel Manager.

Group Medical Insurance
Q. Can you provide more details
of the Group Medical Insurance?
A. Yes, the Group Medical Insurance
Scheme offers medical insurance coverage for your family members
whilst you are onboard and for your period of earned leave.
For Officers, two thirds of the premium is paid by your employer,
whilst the remainder is for your personal account. If you
wish to continue cover for yourself and the whole family beyond
your period of earned leave, the additional cost is on your
account. If you are a Rating, the full cost of the monthly
premium for your family’s insurance cover is for your
account regardless if you are onboard or ashore, however the
monthly premiums are reasonable and you will have added peace
of mind based on present medical and medicine costs here in
the Philippines.
Q.
To which hospitals/clinics can my family go for medical treatment
under the Group Medical Scheme?
A. Any hospital or clinic anywhere in the Philippines that
is accredited by the Dept of Health.
Q.
Is out patient treatment and medicines covered under the Group
Medical Scheme?
A. Yes, but you must keep receipts for any money spent in
order to support your claim.
Q. Is dental treatment covered
under the Group Medical Scheme?
A. Unfortunately, no.
Q. Are there any limitations
to the Group Medical Scheme coverage?
A. Yes, however these can be better explained by contacting
our Administration Manager.
