Singapore to reimburse 50pc of maritime cadet training courses
MARITIME and Port Authority of Singapore has announced in a circular to shipowners that it will offer cadet 'training berth relief support" to help companies by alleviate part of their training costs by reimbursing up to 50 per cent of the maritime cadet's training allowance for a maximum of S$400 (US$279) per month.
The scheme is part of the ongoing manpower efforts drawn up by the Tripartite Maritime Manpower Taskforce for Seafarers (TF-Sea) chaired by MPA.
Training Berth Relief Support is applicable to Singapore-based employers who train Singapore citizens or Singapore permanent resident cadets pursuing their certificate of competencies (CoCs) in the Singapore Maritime Academy (SMA) or Wavelink Maritime Institute (WMI).
The Training Berth Relief Support is applicable on top of existing schemes supporting cadet allowances, including the Cadet Allowance Reimbursement Scheme for SMA cadets, as well as the Tripartite Nautical Training Award (TNTA) and Tripartite Engineering Training Award (TETA) for WMI cadets.
Cadet sea service contracts must commence between January 1 2017 and December 31, 2018 to qualify for the scheme. For inquiries, visit: TF_Sea@mpa.gov.sg
