Introduction:
The nation that rules the sea, rules the wealth and the nation that rules the wealth, rules the
world – thus goes the saying. In other words, in this modern world no nation can afford to
ignore shipping as an essential industry of overall national development strategy; this is truer
for a small country like ours, major portion of whose imports and exports are sea-borne. So,
the growth of an efficient and viable national merchant shipping fleet for Bangladesh is of
paramount importance.
Availability of trained and qualified officers is the first and foremost prerequisite for the
growth of an efficient merchant fleet. In early seventies, at the dawn of our independence, we
faced an acute shortage of trained and qualified officers in our national fleet. With a view to
overcoming this shortage, the Marine Academy is shouldering the responsibility of exploring
and pooling the seafaring talents of the country and trains them in a well-planned and well-
organised manner as navigating and engineer officers. Arrangements have been made to
conduct the preparatory courses for both Deck & Engineer officers to prepare them for their
professional examinations.
A number of ancillary courses have also been introduced in the Academy keeping with the
requirements of the International Convention of Standards of Training, Certification and
Watch-keeping for Seafarers 1995 (STCW 95) of International Maritime Organization
(IMO). Ensuring complete effect to the requirements of the STCW Convention, Bangladesh
has been duly included in the IMO’s White List (List of Approved Nations) in 2000. On the
other hand, through the successful execution of the scheme, the whole national merchant
fleet, in both public and private sectors, is now fully manned by the Bangladeshi officers. A
good number of such officers have also been serving in the foreign flag vessels world-wide
and earning name, fame and much needed foreign exchange for the country.
Facing the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh Marine Academy is located in a beautiful &
picturesque surrounding of the lush green hilltops of Juldia on the east bank of the river
Karnaphully about 20 km. south of the main city of Chittaong ( Lat. 22” 15’ N, Long. 91’ 41’
E). Today, this Academy ranks as one of the world’s foremost institutions in the field of
maritime training and education. It has also been recognized as one of the branches of the
World Maritime University, Malmo, Sweden in the year 1990.
2. Aims and Objectives:

The precise aims and objectives of training in the Academy can briefly be summarised as:
2.1. To explore and recognise the potential seafaring talents, suitably train them and make
them adequately with officer-like qualities so as to groom them up as future leaders in all
fields, especially in the field of shipping and guide the man under their command with
ability and confidence.
2.2 To give such co-curricular, extra-curricular and disciplinary training which will enable a
Cadet to take his place as an officer of the merchant fleet and face with courage,
endurance and fortitude the rigors of a life and career at sea.
2.3 To develop in cadets, through constant guidance and supervision a sense of purpose,
loyalty, devotion to duty, uprightness, adaptability under any circumstances, pride of
profession and spirit of service which will make them valuable distinguished members of
their profession and proud citizens of Bangladesh.
2.4 To achieve a minimum academic and professional standard which will enable the cadets
to appear in examinations of Class III (Deck Officer/Marine Engineer) Certificate of
Competency (CoC) after completion of prescribed sea training on board.

Appendix-B
REGULATIONS FOR SIGHT TESTS OF CANDIDATES BEFORE ADMISSION TO
THE MARINE ACADEMY
PART-I
1. The Conduct of the Test:
The purpose of these is to ensure that the candidate’s eye sight is sufficiently good to enable
him to pick up and identity correctly the lights of distant ships at sea as Deck Officer or of the
engine room as Engineer Officer. Experience has shown that for this purpose a person must
be able to reach certain minimum standards both of form and colour vision.
A sight test comprises a letter and lantern test taken in that order. The test will be conducted
under the strict personal supervision of a Sight Test Examination who will keep a record of
all mistakes made by the candidate both in the letter test and in the lantern test
Candidates are cautioned that, when taking the lantern test, they should not attempt to hurry.
They should satisfy themselves as to the colours of the lights shown before reporting them to
the Examiner. The result of the test can only be judged by what the candidate reports,
carelessness may cause failure and thus prevent the candidate from taking up a chosen career
at sea. Candidates should be in good health when taking the test otherwise their vision may
be impaired.

partially darkened room for at least 10 minutes.
(II) APPARATUS :
The lantern used for the test is designed to show three colours red, white and green singly
through a large aperture or two at a time side by side, through small apertures, when the
small apertures are used any combination of the three colour may be shown or they may be of
the same colour. The lantern will be positioned directly in front of a mirror so that the front
part of lantern is exactly 3.05m(10ft) from the mirror and the lights as reflected in the mirror
show clearly when viewed by the candidates seated close to the lantern.
(III) METHOD OF TESTING:

The Test will commence with a series of lights shown through the large aperture followed
by four complete circuits and one broken circuit of light shown through the small apertures.
The candidate will be required to name the colour of the lights as they appear.

the required standard, he will then proceed to the lantern test for colour perception.
6. INDUSTRIAL TEST/LANTERN TEST FOR COLOUR VISION:
The purpose of the test is to see whether the candidates can correctly differentiate between
red, green and white colour. This can be done by either two methods i.e. (i) Industrial Test
(ii) Lantern Test.
(I) INDUSTRIAL TEST:

Initially the candidates could take the Ishihara plate Test and subsequently the industrial Test,
this may be :
(a) Correct identification of small samples of metal i.e. copper, zinc, steel, aluminium etc.
(b) To pair of coded samples of resistance that may be found in electrical circuits.
(c) To pair of colour electrical wiring as may be found in a cable carrying a large number of
conductors.
(d) To pair of basic colours from a group of samples, if the candidate can correctly identify
and pair of such stated above, he will be declared to have passed the Industrial Test for
colour vision.
(II) LANTERN TEST:

The candidate is to be placed at the distance of 3.05m (10 feet) from the lantern and after
adaptation of darkness, he is to be asked to name sufficient colour presented singly with large
aperture, using a dimming filter to satisfy the Examiner that he can discriminate between red,
green and white colours correctly and if the Examiner is satisfied, the candidate may be

from their traditional bondage to nature, and now at last we have it in our power to free
mankind once and for all from the fear which is based on want. Now, for the first time man
can reasonably begin to think that life can be some thing more than a grim struggle for
