Joe v. STCW Dreams up in smoke
Joe:
Significant changes to USCG licensing structure are looming. Its gonna b a train wreck 4 ya. http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2009/pdf/E9-26821.pdf For example, They are dropping the 500 GRT Master/Mate. Its going to be 200 GRT or 1600 GRT M/M ALso, "..............Adds the requirement that applicants for an endorsement as master must be qualified as mate & OICNW for vessels of 200 GRT/500 GT or more. Provides consistency with STCW Convention requirements that all persons seeking management- level endorsements qualify as OICNW for vessels of 200 GRT/500 GT or more. See Regulation II/2 of the STCW Convention........." Earlier you mentioned that you were just gonna do some time on larger tonnage and upgrade your 100 GRT Master. Well, that just aint going to happen with out OICNW as in STCW. That is unless youre sticking to Inland/GL. Looks like your stuck as 199.9 ton master at best.... maybe! Read closely, I didnt but that option may be gone too, IDK. Have fun and remember what they do in the bayou...... up grade early and often! Bob |

My Master's ticket says: "The holder of this license meets the STCW 1995 regulations without further endorsement." |

It was a 1000 tn but grandfathered into the 1600. It's been expired for some years now. As I said I have no desire or need of anything over 100 tons now, or for the next 10 years most likely. Why are you so bothered and frustrated and concerned? If you feel you have the need to brag about STCW, BFD's, on OICNW, and some other SNAFU, on some POS, jr AB 4U2 get anywhere with tell it to someone who might give a rats ass. You are acting like I need to get back offshore on a work boat. I have no desire to get back in the patch.... period.... BOB. I'll do my work sailing past the patch and visiting exotic ports full of adventure and good coffee. The fishings better, the sights are better, the work is better, the boat will be nicer, I like the boss, foods as good , coffees way better,and it will pay more. Thanks for caring so much.... Joe |
