Crew
Endorsements
Press
release 8 July 2002
Strict
Enforcement of STCW 95 by Paris MOU *
The
Paris and Tokyo MOU Committees have confirmed
that when the IMO’s period of grace ends on 1
August the provisions of the new STCW 95
Convention will be strictly enforced by Port
States in the Regions .
Ships
issued with Letters of Warnings since the
Convention came into force in February 2002 will
be given priority for inspection, but all ships
inspected will be expected to comply .
Port
State Control Officers (PSCO’s) will verify
that all seafarers required to be certificated
do hold a valid certificate or dispensation. In
addition officers will be required to have an
appropriate certificate from the Administration
and endorsement from the flags State, or have
documentary proof that an application for
endorsement has been made. This proof could be a
written confirmation from the flag State that an
application has been received from an
individual. Alternatively a copy of the
seafarers written application to the
Administration, clearly showing name,
certificate number, date of issue and validity
would be accepted.
If
all other documentation is in order, taking into
account the above factors, the absence of a flag
State endorsement or documentary proof of
application to flag State will be recorded as a
deficiency which must be rectified at the next
port. Failure to do so will result in the
detention of the ship.
