Help me become a Deck Officer...Please

[rikrdolevy]

Good afternoon, I am a deck cadet from Panama and I need to accomplish the 12 months onboard required training according to STCW/95, it is very difficult here in Panama to get a sponsoring company to train us, so I am kind of desperate right now since it has been almost a year since I finished my studies at the university. I have all the necessary documentation (US VISA, IMO Courses, Seaman Book, etc.), so I am available to go onboard at any time. I speak English, Spanish, and a little bit of German.

SO CAN ANYONE HELP ME

Perhaps you can try via a crewing agency.

look on e.g.
www.crew4sea.com

many vessel flying the panama flag with mixed crews.
Perhaps you can try one of them.

regards and good luck
