MV Banjo Bridge: My Training Ship

Almost four months (April to August 2011) of being on-board MV Banjo Bridge as a Trainee Electrician taught me priceless skills and showed me the real nature of being a seafarer. Thanks to my mentors (Elect. Lapiña and Elect. Melgar) for patiently and unselfishly guiding me through the duration of my training. If both of you were able to read this post, this is the least way I could show you my gratitude.

This post is a little late due to my busy schedule on-board another vessel the MV Seattle Bridge (my first command as an Electro-Technical Officer) and also due to unavailable internet connection while at sea (lucky are those who have free internet via satellite).

hello po, gusto ko rin mag ship electrician sa barko. REE, RME license,8yrs exp as electrician landbased, okey kaya kung mag apprentice(no salary ako pa magbabayad) ako sa inter island muna? sa mga ship electrician jan, ano sa tingin nyo?

Good day!

Try nyo po sir mag-apply directly sa mga agencies na international ang byahe ng barko. Ok rin po mag-inter island ka, pero sa opinion ko lang po kung balak mo lang din mag international vessel sa susunod, mas ok na international na kaagad kasi may land experience ka na rin at 8 years sabi mo po. Kahit magsimula ka as assistant electrician o trainee electrician. Minsan po kasi may mga agency na kahit may inter-island exp ka na as elect, papasakayin ka pa rin as assistant or trainee elect pag international vessel. So sayang ang oras, meron naman nagpapasakay directly international vessel basta kumpleto ka sa papeles at may land-based exp ka na.
