Maritime Week: MPA launches SailMAP

The programme aims to incentivise seafarers for key career milestones.

The Maritime Port Authority (MPA) has launched a programme that will incentive seafarers for key milestones in their careers.

One of the incentives provided by the Sail Milestone Achievement Programme (SailMAP) is a sign-on bonus of $10,000 when they sign on their first vessel as a Certificate of Competency (CoC) Class 3 (deck officer) or 5 (marine engineer) holder.

MPA said the incentives given under the SailMAP programme are aimed at supporting seafarers’ income when they are not sailing.

This way, MPA said seafarers can also “focus on upgrading their seafaring skills and knowledge.”

Meanwhile, MPA is also reopening applications for their Tripartite Maritime Scholarship (TMSS) starting 22 April.

Interested applicants can learn more about the programme via https://www.mpa.gov.sg/web/portal/home/maritime-singapore/education-and-scholarships/maritime-scholarships/tripartite-maritime-scholarship-scheme-tmss.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
