Cadets who take up our courses have to give a written and oral exam after the completion of their courses. They have to pass this exam with at least 60% marks and above in order to be honored with a Degree Certificate (Course Completion Certificate). Experienced cadets who are appearing for their competency exams i.e. COC exams would also need to go through similar coaching and the same exams rules followed along with orals would apply to them too.

Cadets who have completed their prescribed pre-sea training courses and are eligible to proceed to sea can apply and be issued a CDC, which is a Continuous Discharge Certificate-cum-Seafarer’s Identity Document.

BIMS has the facility of providing a Panama CDC for its cadets. The Institute takes up the very detailed process of legally applying and issuance of CDC on behalf of its cadets for very competitive price and within a small time frame. Those wanting to upgrade a (Panama CDC - Panama COC) license through us can also do so. We will process the application for the applicant with the Panama Maritime Authorities.

You will receive CRA Scan copy the same day, the original of CRA in two working days and a full term book in 45-60 working days.

The validity period of a Panama CDC is 5 years.

A Panama Marine License ensures the best opportunity for graduate marine students to secure their first job as well as for officials and other mariners who are looking to expand their career in the marine world.
