An alternative has been created to minimize issues caused by the insufficient number of Merchant Navy officers, known as mariners, available to work in ships. This is the ReIntegrate at Sea Program, promoted by Log-In Logística Integrada. Its main objective is to enable 1st officers and chief engineers with expired certifications to resume their navigation activities.

“This is not a course. The strategy behind its creation was to detach ourselves from the Revalidation Exam for Engine Officers (Erom). Thus, we would not depend on the Navy. The 90-day internship that selected candidates will undergo at Log-In replaces the Erom”, says Andréa Simões, Director of People, Culture, and Digital Transformation at Log-In Logística Integrada.

In Brazil, maritime professionals' certification is exclusively conducted by the Navy, involving three years of study (complemented by up to two years of onboard practice) through the Merchant Navy Officer Training Schools (Efomm), Ciaga (Rio de Janeiro-RJ), and Ciaba (Belém-PA). The courses are offered annually, but the number of available slots falls short of market needs.

Paula Oliveira, Internal Consulting Manager at Log-In, emphasizes that the program reallocates mariners more swiftly. “In just three months, under the internship modality, Log-In can support the reintegration and revalidation of these professionals' certifications in record time, creating even more qualified engineering teams for the company’s fleet”, she comments.

To put it in perspective, a professional shortage is projected to range between 2,000 and 4,000 by 2030, according to a study conducted by Fundação Vanzolini and the Innovation Center in Logistics and Port Infrastructure (Cilip) at the University of São Paulo (USP), commissioned by the Brazilian Cabotage Shipowners Association (Abac), the National Syndicate of Maritime Navigation Companies (Syndarma), and the Brazilian Association of Maritime Support Companies (Abeam).

According to Log-In’s director, the measure adopted by the company is not sufficient to resolve the professional shortage issue but contributes to reintegrating mariners into the sector.

“The lack of workforce can drastically harm the segment’s development, potentially reducing operations and halting fleet expansion opportunities. Therefore, it is not only up to large organizations to offer alternatives to address this scenario, as in this project, but also for the responsible authorities to seek alternatives that can truly resolve this problem”, Andréa Simões points out.

Although the program's focus is not on training mariners, Luis Fernando Resano, Executive Director of Abac, believes that the initiative—of which the entity was not involved in structuring—addresses an important current demand. “These are stopgap measures to handle the moment and have officers who are not at the beginning of their careers available”, he states.

Objective is hiring after the internship

During the ReIntegrate at Sea Program, participants will be assigned to ships based on operational needs, gaining full experience in cabotage and long-haul services. A total of two positions will be available: one for 1st officer and one for chief engineer, with full salary corresponding to the categories. Additionally, participants will receive all the benefits offered to current employees of the company.

After the internship period, Log-In may offer a permanent contract for 18 months, based on the results obtained from the evaluations conducted during the program.

To participate in the program, interested candidates must have a completed higher education degree, a Registration and Enrollment Book (CIR) for revalidation, previous ship experience, and preferably have worked with containers, along with proof of the four doses of covid-19 vaccination and an International Yellow Fever Certificate.
