The article describes RFA staff as "part of the Merchant Navy, although employed by government as civil servants". Well, it can be one or the other but not both!
I worked with one ex RFA chief officer who joined the Marine Services organisation (managers of the RMAS). In doing so he had to leave the MN and become a civil servant. It took him many months to get the civil service pension people to accept his RFA time as counting towards a civil service pension; in doing so he had to give up his MNOPF rights, which was probably wise as the PCSPS was better.
