MANDATORY ENHANCED BUNKERING COURSE FOR CARGO OFFICERS

As the world’s leading bunkering port, it is important for Singapore to provide

quality bunkering services to vessels calling at the port for lifting bunkers. Cargo

officers who represent bunker suppliers in bunker transfers are required to be

familiar with the requirements and procedures of the Singapore Standard on

Bunkering or SS 600. They are required to attend an approved basic course on the

SS 600 before working independently onboard bunker tankers.

2 In 2009, MPA worked with the Singapore Shipping Association (SSA) and the

International Bunker Industry Association (IBIA) to develop an enhanced bunkering

course for cargo officers. The objective of the course is to raise the cargo officers’

technical knowledge on shipboard operations in relation to bunkering as well as

general awareness on maritime security and personal safety. The course also covers

customer relationship management and service excellence. The two associations

have since been offering this non-mandatory course to the bunkering industry.

3 As part of MPA’s ongoing efforts to enhance the cargo officers’

professionalism and competency, MPA will make it mandatory for all cargo officers to

attend the enhanced bunkering course under the Terms and Conditions of the

Bunkering Licence (Bunker Craft Operator) as follows:

(i) Potential cargo officers

From 1 July 2012, a person who wants to be a cargo officer will be required to

attend and successfully complete the enhanced bunkering course prior to

working independently onboard bunker tankers.

(ii) In-service cargo officers

Existing cargo officers who have not attended the enhanced bunkering course

will be required to attend and successfully complete the course by 30 Jun

2013.

4 The entry requirements for the enhanced bunkering course can be found in

Annex A. Bunker craft operators are strongly encouraged to enrol their existing

cargo officers for the enhanced bunkering course conducted by either SSA or IBIA at

the soonest. The course schedules can be obtained via the below contacts and
