SERASA, FRIDAY, 12 JUNE 2026 – The closing ceremony for the Officer Under Training Course (OUTC) 2026 was held at the Serasa Watermanship Complex for 16 Young Officers of Intake 24 of the Royal Brunei Navy (RBN).
The ceremony was graced by Commander Ade Roddiane bin Haji Mohammad Rosdi, RBN, Deputy Fleet Commander RBN, as the Guest of Honour. Also in attendance were the Commanding Officers and Executive Officers of RBN Ships, other RBN Officers, as well as instructors from the Brunei Engineering, Logistics and Training Solutions (BELTS).
Conducted over a period of seven weeks from 27 April to 12 June 2026, the course was designed to equip the young officers with the essential knowledge, practical skills and professional competencies required to perform their duties effectively onboard RBN ships, particularly in supporting shipboard operations and navigation duties. The course also serves as a continuation of the officers’ professional development following their initial naval training.
Throughout the course, the participants underwent intensive training in key operational areas including Fire Fighting and Damage Control (FFDC), Full Mission Bridge Simulator (FMBS), Celestial Navigation, and Communications. These training modules were aimed at enhancing their operational readiness, leadership qualities, and understanding of naval procedures in preparation for future appointments within the fleet.
As part of the programme, the officers also visited the Maritime and Port Authority of Brunei Darussalam (MPABD) and the Brunei Darussalam Meteorological Department (BDMD). The visits provided valuable exposure to the roles and functions of both organisations, particularly in supporting maritime safety, navigation, port operations, weather forecasting, and maritime domain awareness, all of which contribute significantly to naval operations.
During the ceremony, certificates were presented to all course participants by the Guest of Honour. Lieutenant Junior Grade Muhammad Nafis Rozan bin Awang Arifin, RBN, was awarded the Best Student Award in recognition of his outstanding performance throughout the course.
The ceremony concluded with the presentation of a token of appreciation to the Guest of Honour, followed by a group photo session with the course participants and invited guests. The successful completion of OUTC 2026 marks an important milestone in the professional development of the young officers as they prepare to undertake greater responsibilities in service of the Royal Brunei Navy.
