The following regulations and procedures are laid down in selecting and appointing officers and crew.

(a) To be able to select internationally qualified crew, all candidates are required to complete the training courses offered by the Department of Marine Administration.

(b) If all the necessary certificates are presented, their seaman books are checked to see whether they have the required sea service and experiences on types of vessels they will be appointed, such as; bulk carrier, log carrier, general cargo, chemical tanker, oil tanker, car carrier, etc.

(c) Then the company poll is checked to select only those who have met conditions such as; serving on the vessel until completion of given contract time, obedience to the superior officers, fulfillment of duties, cooperation and good relationship with fellow crew, no record of fights and arguments, and following the rules of the company.

Only those who meet the above conditions are selected followed by a thorough medical check up by the company doctor. Those who pass the medical check up are finally selected.
