What Are Seafarer Endorsements?
Seafarer endorsements are official certifications issued by flag states, verifying that the holder possesses the qualifications, training, and experience required for their role onboard a vessel. These endorsements are essential for compliance with international maritime conventions like the STCW (Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping for Seafarers).
Types of Seafarer Endorsements We Facilitate
Flag State Endorsements
- Recognition of existing CoCs or CoPs by the vessel’s flag state, authorizing the seafarer to serve aboard a vessel registered under that flag.
Radio Operator Endorsements
- Certifies that a seafarer is qualified to operate GMDSS equipment, ensuring compliance with safety and communication standards.
Ship Security Officer (SSO):
- Certification for crew members responsible for developing and implementing the ship’s security plan, ensuring compliance with the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code.
