SIRB Express Application System
SEAS or the SIRB Express Application System is an information technology program by the Maritime Industry Authority (Marina), aimed to produce a much faster processing of SIRB application forms. It’s good news, for the seafarers, for new applicants, and for renewals of seaman’s book. This program is in team-up with Filipinas Teleserv, Inc. (FilTeleserv) as the company developed the SEAS service.
Finally, Marina has come-up with a good program to lessen the hassle of the application, and ease the burden of people wanting to apply for seaman’s book, especially for the new applicants. Both the new and renewal applications for SIRBs can now be done without having to proceed to the Marina office at Trida Building in Taft Avenue corner Kalaw, Manila. Seafarers now have a big comfort and saves time in their SIRB application. It is an action made by Marina that is highly favorable to the people who wanted and need to apply for SIRB.
Napakalaking tulong nito sa ating mga marino. Biruin nyo, noong pumunta ako sa Marina at mag-apply ng Seaman’s Book ay binigyan lang ang mga aplikante ng form at may nakakatatak doon na petsa tatlong linggo pa mula sa araw na yon. Ang buong akala ko’y sandali lang ang pagkuha ng SIRB, ‘yon pala ay i-schedule ka pa ng dalawa o tatlong liggo pa. Ito raw ay dahilana sa napakahabang pila ng mga applikasyon at mayroon lang yata silang limitasyon sa loob ng isang araw na ipoproseso na SIRB.
It’s really a good new for all of us seafarers na mayroon ng ganitong hakbang na ginawa ang Marina. At least, maibsan na ang pagkainis ng mga marino na pumipila sa loob ng Trina bldg. para makakuha ng bagong SIRB.
