EVEN though it already made official the reimposition of the Management Level Course (MLC) for deck and engineer officers, the Maritime Industry Authority (Marina) said that the course is still undergoing thorough review with the end view of introducing major revisions to make it less of a burden to aspiring senior officers.

Despite continuing strong opposition from various quarters, Marina has stood pat on its decision to reimpose the MLC after it said it found enough basis to make it one of the requirements again in applying for Certificate of Competency (COC) for management-level officer candidates.
