The procedure for revalidation
of Certificates of Competency has been spelt out in Meta Manual.
The requirement is that of serving one year in the last 5 years
in the machinery appropriate to the certification. However, a
numbers of candidates have been serving in offshore supply vessels
and other Coastal vessels with marginally lower power and as a
result of which they are unable to have their certificat0065 revalidated
owing to the power restriction imposed. In order to alleviate
this problem, the Directorate has considered the submissions and
following instructions are issued:-
(1) Sea time served on ships
registered under the Merchant Shipping Act and serving on the
Indian coast BIMMS areas and having power less than that required
as appropriate for the certificate, shall be accepted provided
the sea time so served is twice the amount of sea service necessary
for revalidation as per rules.
(2) Sea service on vessels other
than those registered under the M.S. Act and with powers less
than the appropriate power for revalidation as per rules, would
only be considered on a case to case basis.
This instruction may kindly
be implemented with immediate effect.
