What you can build on SBECS

  Status (optional), principal (optional)

  RFP number, seafarer, registration number, principal, vessel, position, status, remarks

  Seafarer, registration number, principal, vessel, position, processed or deployed

• List accredited principals, vessels, crew orders

  Takes

  Principal (optional)

  Returns

  Principal, vessel, crew order position

Automate SBECS with a workflow

A workflow runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

• RFPs that moved to For Compliance, Denial or For Printing of OEC

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 8:00, Asia/Manila

  Step 1

  Check request for processing statuses for every open RFP in View Status.

  Step 2

  Keep the RFPs that moved to For Compliance, Denial or For Printing of OEC since the last run.

  Step 3

  Email you the list, with the evaluator remarks for For Compliance and Denial.

• RFPs waiting on your agency: payment and contract upload

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 15:00, Asia/Manila

  Step 1

  Check request for processing statuses for For Payment and Uploading of Contracts.

  Step 2

  Stop when there are none.

  Step 3

  Post each RFP, with seafarer, principal, vessel and status, to your crewing system's webhook.

• Weekly processed and deployed contracts, by principal

  Build this

  Starts

  Every Monday at 7:00, Asia/Manila

  Step 1

  Get the processed and deployed contracts for the past 7 days from MyPOEA.

  Step 2

  Group them by principal and vessel.

  Step 3

  Email you the report, with the count per principal.

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Check request for processing statuses” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "onlineservices.dmw.gov.ph/check_rfp_statuses",
    "input": {
      "status": "For Compliance"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "requests": [
      {
        "rfp_number": "RFP-2026-118204",
        "seafarer": "Seafarer A. Example",
        "registration_number": "SRN-0047712",
        "principal": "Northwind Shipmanagement Ltd.",
        "vessel": "MV Globex Pioneer",
        "position": "Able Seaman",
        "status": "For Compliance",
        "remarks": "Submit individual insurance policy."
      }
    ],
    "count": 1
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

SBECS’s own options

POEA Memorandum Circular No. 06, series of 2018, sets out SBECS as a secured web facility where licensed manning agencies submit requests for processing, pay online, upload seafarer contracts and print electronic OECs. It describes no API or file exchange. Requests outside the online scope go to the Seabased Center.

Signing in to SBECS

The ICT Branch enrols each user named in the agency's REAPS and emails a username and the system link. The user sets a password on an assigned computer, and five wrong logins in a row lock the account until the ICT Branch releases it. With Fous you sign in through the portal's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, and code and AI agents never see it.

Worth knowing

Up to three users, one computer each

The REAPS names up to three authorized users. Each needs a dedicated computer, and the password is set on that assigned computer. At least one user must have attended the SBECS Users Training.

An unsubmitted RFP is cancelled

A request for processing that is not submitted is nullified and cancelled. A new RFP is blocked while the seafarer still has a valid OEC or contract with a former agency, until that agency cancels it.

Fishers and watchlisted crew go to evaluation

Their RFPs go to For Evaluation, not to payment. You print the RFP from View Status and file it at the Seabased Center; the evaluator returns Approved, For Compliance or Denial.

The e-OEC comes after the contract upload

Statuses run For Payment, Uploading of Contracts, then For Printing of OEC. Editing the flag of registry, vessel, principal or salaries on a submitted RFP sends it back to For Payment.
