Chapter III of Meta Manual -
I under MEO Examination Rule 1998 specifies that a person joining
a ship must serve as an Engineer Officer for any Qualifying Sea
Service. In particular, person holding MEO Class IV Part A must
serve as an Assistant Engineer Officer to the Watch keeping engineer
for stipulated period in order to qualify in terms of Qualifying
sea service towards Class IV Certificate of Competency. There
have been many representations from owners and trainees alike
to define the actual designation of the engineer officer on board
in terms of employment practice. The Directorate has reviewed
this and here-by states that the engineer officer with Part A
must be posted in the category of Assistant Engineer Officer and
would serve as an assistant to watch keeping engineer and this
should be quoted clearly in his sea time certificate.
This matter may please be brought
to the notice of all concerned.
