WAVES 2012.Indd Republic of the Philippines Philippine Merchant Marine Academy San Narciso, Zambales “Conduct of Relevant Research Geared Towards Growth and Development of our Country, A Must!!!” In order for any organization, be it small or large, to enable itself to effectively meet the challenges that lie on its path head on, it must ensure that it has a strong research capability in order to better prepare itself and all offi cial actions made are properly guided and not just based on mere conjectures or suppositions without being based on educated and well founded grounds. Another signifi cant aspect of a relevant research is its timeliness and responsiveness to the demands of the business sector or industry to where we belong. Furthermore, a focused action congruent to pre- identifi ed goals must be ensured at all times so we won’t waste scarce government resources in the process. We in the Academe must contribute our own fair share towards national growth and development and be very instrumental in alleviating the conditions of our countrymen to more decent and acceptable levels. We can say that we are truly effective and responsive, if and when our actions reverberate to a wider spectrum of the citizenry, resulting to positive gains through the conduct of relevant and timely research works. COMMO RICHARD U RITUAL PMMA President Republic of the Philippines Philippine Merchant Marine Academy San Narciso, Zambales The Waves, the research journal initiated by the PMMA Department of Research and Development (DRD), showcases how our institution is getting involved in advanced learning through research. In every learning institution, the research department can be considered as the soul of learning. Its development path runs parallel with its mother institution. There is an unseen string that connects them - one’s progress affects the other. The PMMA as the premier maritime institution of the country has scaled up the path to prestige as a result of its graduates’ performance in the industry combined with their passion to serve the academy by serving as academic instructors, as well as tactical offi cers, training students on the area of leadership and discipline. Their practical knowledge about the industry that is passed directly to the students has further propelled the reputation of PMMA graduates as hotshots of the maritime profession. In a parallel view, practical knowledge gained through experience is considered a result of individual research. It is therefore imperative that anyone capable of doing research in the academy should get themselves out from the box of their responsibilities and explore further the vast coast of knowledge. Research combined with practical experiences on-board, when shared with the students, will surely catapult the PMMA’s status as a maritime institution higher than we have already achieved. I congratulate the DRD for its Waves 2012 issue! CAPT JOHN LESLIE ROMEO M BENEDICTOS PMMA Vice President for Academics, Training, Research and Extension Republic of the Philippines Philippine Merchant Marine Academy San Narciso, Zambales This 2012, the Department of Research and Development (DRD) offers you a bigger, bolder Waves. On this issue, we offer you a new section dedicated for our student researchers. Student entries passed a series of editing by the DRD team to make sure that published researches deserve every centimeter in the journal’s space. With this initiative, it is highly expected that Waves will go better year after year. Furthermore, we at the DRD appreciate that more faculty and tactical offi cers participate with our team in conducting institutional researches this 2012. We hope that we will work with more of you on the coming years. Congratulations to the research frontrunners of the PMMA! Together, let us propagate a better research culture in and for the Academy.

    TOWARDS A SAFETY CULTURE IN THE PHILIPPINE SHIPPING INDUSTRY: RE-ALIGNING THE DOMESTIC MARITIME SAFETY REGIME ! WITH THE INTERNATIONAL SAFETY MANAGEMENT CODE Gerard Joseph M. Jumamil!! “Vessels do not engage in conduct; they are merely the instruments of human actors.” – Brian D. Smith1 ABSTRACT The Philippines is the second largest archipelagic state in the world. A vast number of Filipinos regularly utilize domestic passenger ships to traverse the waters in and around the 7,107 islands of the state. Despite the critical importance of the industry in mass transportation, innumerable losses and tragedies continually transpire. The current state of the domestic maritime safety regime undermines the critical role of the industry in the sphere of mass transportation, and degrades the nature of the industry as one imbued with public interest. In particular, various issues concerning ship management persistently plague the regime and significantly contribute to the savage deterioration of domestic maritime safety. These issues reveal a regulatory and enforcement framework marked by tolerance and condones an environment of ‘absolute minimum maintenance’ amongst shipowners. Notwithstanding the international movement towards a safety culture through enhanced ship management systems, the Maritime Industry Authority has implemented inadequate regulatory measures to comply with the Philippines’ international obligations under the Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea 1974, particularly Chapter IX thereof on the International Safety Management (ISM) Code. The rules and regulations implementing the ISM Code and the enforcement thereof have proven to be !
