This paper shows the changes that have occurred to the Manila Amendments to the
International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for
Seafarers Code (STCW 2010 Code). In the School of Maritime Engineering of the
University of Cantabria with the degrees in Nautical Engineering and Maritime
Transport (Deck Officers), Marine Engineering (Engine Officers) and Maritime
Engineering (Naval Engineering), we have taken into consideration all these changes
and have adapted them to the academic training of the STCW 2010 Code. We recognize
the need to train our maritime protection students (future officers, Captains and Chief
Engineers of the Spanish Merchant Marine) with the latest and most effective tools and protocols.
Thanks to the Maritime Collaborative Website of the Spanish Navy (ENCOMAR) we
can complement and ensure the theoretical and practical training of our students to
improve their knowledge on Maritime Security.Postprint (published version
