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.
