Seafarer guides by country

CHIEF. GUIDES · 2 countries

Every administration applies STCW in its own way: how it proves sea service, what it asks for at each rank, how it revalidates a certificate and which seaman’s book it issues. One page per country, from its own circulars.

  1. PHPhilippinesHow MARINA counts sea service for a CoC, the sea time for each promotion, CoC revalidation through MISMO, and the SRB and SID that replaced the SIRB.
  2. INIndiaHow DG Shipping (now DGMA) and the MMD count sea service, the sea time for 2nd Mate, Chief Mate, Master and MEO Class IV, CoC revalidation, CDC and INDoS.

For every flag

The STCW minimums are the same everywhere; the free tools on this site work for any administration.
