ARAMCO Examination
ARAMCO Examination
As most of you will be aware, RAMCo are conducting their own examinations of all Master and Mates on
board all Contracted vessels. Depending on the result of such examination, the respective person either PASS or
FAIL, as far as RAMCo inspector are concerned.
If the Former, the individual has clearance from RAMCO to be appointed on board, but if the latter, the
individual is not considered to be acceptable to RAMCO for employment on any vessel working in their
offshore areas, and the Company have no option then in turn has to be examined by RAMCO.
Obviously this has caused major administrative and financial problem for the Company, over which we
unfortunately have no control.
It is stressed that for obvious reason we need all Master and Mates to PASS the examination, and to this end, we
show below, as list of the items upon which questions are likely to be asked by the RAMCO examiner.
