S. Coast Guard National Maritime CenterTo:DistributionSubj: QUALIFICATIONS FOR DECK AND ENGINEERING RATINGSRef:(a) Regulations II/4 and III/4 of the International Convention on Standards ofTraining, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978, as amended(STCW)(b) Title 46, Code of Federal Regulations (46 CFR), Part 12(c) COMDTINST M16000.8B Marine Safety Manual, Volume III1. PURPOSE. This policy letter clarifies the requirements of references (a) and (b) asthey apply to an applicant for a rating as able seaman, or as a watchstanding qualifiedmember of the engine department (QMED) and either an STCW certification as arating forming part of a navigational watch (RFPNW) or an engineering watch(RFPEW).2. ACTION.a. RECs processing applicants for these STCW qualifications should be guided bythe enclosures to this policy letter concerning the information required to besubmitted as part of the application packages. The files of applicants for RFPNWor RFPEW certifications should include completed records of practicaldemonstrations of practical skills. These may consist of copies of the enclosuresor similar records containing the same information; andb. Commanding officers of units with marine safety responsibilities should bring thispolicy letter to the attention of the maritime industry with interests in marinepersonnel issues and to institutions that offer U. S. Coast Guard approvedtraining. This policy letter will be distributed by electronic means only. It isavailable on the World Wide Web at http://www.uscg.mil/STCW/m-policy.htm.3. DIRECTIVES AFFECTED. Enclosure (2) to Policy letter 24-98 and Policy Letter 401, both issued by the U. S. Coast Guard National Maritime Center, are supersededand cancelled.MILITARY SEALIFT COMMAND1
USCG POLICY - NMC Policy Letter 14-024. BACKGROUND.a. Reference (a) contains the requirements for a deck rating to be issued an STCWcertificate as a rating forming part of a navigational watch (RFPNW). Similarly,an engine rating can become qualified as a rating forming part of an engineeringwatch (RFPEW).b. Reference (b) contains the requirements for an entry level mariner in the deckdepartment to qualify as an able seaman (unlimited, limited, or special). For entrylevel mariners in the engine department, the regulations provide guidance forthem to advance to a rating as a qualified member of the engine department(QMED). While there are numerous QMED ratings, this policy letter only refersto the watchstanding ratings: oiler, fireman/watertender, and junior engineer.There are two additional engineering watchstanding endorsements, deck enginemechanic and engineman; however, a prerequisite to qualify for either of thoseratings includes qualification for one of the first three engineering ratings.Therefore, the latter two ratings will not be addressed.5. DISCUSSION.a. The nature of the duties and responsibilities performed by ratings issued under ourdomestic scheme are similar to the ratings issued under the STCW scheme.Because of differing requirements to qualify for the domestic ratings as comparedto the STCW ratings, it may penalize mariners who require only the domesticqualifications to require them to also meet the STCW’s requirements.b. Applicants for certification as able seaman must only meet the requirements ofreferences (b) and (c) to be certificated under the domestic scheme and issued amerchant mariner's document (MMD). A mariner holding an MMD endorsed asable seaman (unlimited, limited, or special) may not serve in that capacity on avessel to which the full impact of the STCW applies unless the able seaman alsoholds an STCW certificate endorsed as an RFPNW as set forth in enclosure (1)and as proficient in survival craft. For information about proficiency in survivalcraft, consult policy letters 5-01 and 8-01 at http://www.uscg.mil/STCW/mpolicy.htm.c. An ordinary seaman assigned to either the deck department or the maintenancedepartment who either stands navigational watches, or may be assigned to standnavigational watches, must also be qualified as a RFPNW.d. Applicants for certification as a watchstanding QMED must only meet therequirements of references (b) and (c) to be certificated under the domesticscheme. An applicant holding an MMD endorsed as QMED may not serve in thatcapacity on a vessel to which the full impact of the STCW applies unless theQMED also holds an STCW certificate endorsed as an RFPEW as set forth inenclosure (2). The requirements of enclosure (2) apply also to a wiper who isstanding engine room watches, or may be assigned to stand watches as a regularmember of the watch.2MILITARY SEALIFT COMMAND
USCG POLICY - NMC Policy Letter 14-02e. A rating qualifying for certification under domestic regulations alone, will only beissued an MMD with appropriate endorsements as QMED or able seaman. Theywill not be issued an STCW certificate.f. Applicants holding an MMD with a qualified rating, either as able seaman or as awatchstanding QMED, but who do not qualify for an STCW certificate may laterrequest an STCW-95 certificate claiming that the original has been lost. The RECto which the application is made must carefully review the mariner’s records todetermine whether or not an STCW certificate had actually been issued to anapplicant. It will be impossible to determine that fact from only examining of theMMD, because the endorsements for the qualified endorsements are the same .An REC receiving such an application should consider action under thesuspension and revocation proceedings for fraudulent application.g. If the mariner holds a MMD endorsed with a qualified rating, either as ableseaman or as a watchstanding QMED, but has never qualified for the equivalentSTCW certification, he or she must meet the requirements of enclosure (1) or (2)as appropriate to qualify for STCW certification.E.J.

USCG POLICY – Enclosure 1 of NMC Policy Letter 14-02REQUIREMENTS FOR QUALIFICATION AS AN RFPNWRef: (a) International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification andWatchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978, as amended (STCW), Regulation II/4.1. This enclosure provides guidance for a mariner to qualify for STCW certification as anRFPNW. It applies to any mariner who must qualify as an RFPNW for service on vesselssubject to the full effects of the STCW.2. Reference (a) requires all ratings forming part of a navigational watch on a seagoing shipof 500 gross tonnage (GT) or more to be duly certified to perform such duties. Thisincludes entry level ratings standing navigational watches, such as lookout watches. Italso includes entry level personnel serving in a maintenance department when thosepersons are required by the Certificate of Inspection to be qualified to augment thenavigational watch. This requirement for certification does not apply to a marinerstanding navigational watches in a supervised training status or to one whose duties are ofan unskilled nature.3. Applicants for the STCW certification must provide evidence of:a. Either six months of approved, seagoing service that includes training and experienceassociated with navigational watchkeeping functions and involves duties carried outunder the direct supervision of the master, officer in charge of the navigational watchor qualified ratings; orb. Satisfactory completion of a course approved or accepted as “special training”required by the STCW plus a period of approved seagoing service. The length of theperiod of approved seagoing service will be specified as part of the course's approvaland will not be less than two months; andc. Evidence that the applicant meets the standards of 46 CFR 12.05-5 as regards toeyesight, color vision, and hearing.4. A day of approved seagoing service for qualification as a RFPNW is an eight-hour dayunder training carrying out duties associated with navigational watchkeeping functionsunder the direct supervision of the master, the officer in charge of a navigational watch,or a qualified rating (STCW Regulation II/4). A qualified rating for training purposes isan able seaman holding an STCW certificate. The applicant must provide a recordshowing each day, or fo ur-hour period, when service under training was completed. Therecord of sea service must include the name of the vessel, the date(s) of the training,indicate whether it was a ocean or near coastal voyage, and be signed by the master, chiefmate, or an officer in charge of the watch who holds a license of second mate or higher.MILITARY SEALIFT COMMAND5
USCG POLICY – Enclosure 1 of NMC Policy Letter 14-02The signing officer should include his license number. At least 50% of the service mustbe performed on a seagoing vessel of at least 200 gross register tons (GRT) (equal to 500GT). The other 50% may be performed on seagoing vessels that meet the requirements ofreference (b) for qualification as an able seaman. All steering and helm assessments mustbe completed on a vessel of at least 100 GRT. See Table 1 of this enclosure for specificequipment requirements.5. In addition to the seagoing service in paragraph 3.a. or 3.b., an applicant must be assessedas meeting the competencies listed in the STCW Code, Table A-II/4. Attachment A is alisting of every task in which a mariner must be assessed. It may be used as a checklist toensure that every practical demonstration has been completed. Attachment B includes aspecification/check of sheet for each practical demonstration required to be completed bythe mariner. When the mariner has successfully completed a practical demonstration, thedesignated examiner or shipboard assessor should complete the information on thebottom of the individual assessment specification. The signing officer attests that he orshe has witnessed the mariner's satisfactory performance in the listed area(s) based on theperformance criteria. The applicant must present this signed copy of each specification aspart of the application package.6. Each candidate must demonstrate the competence to (1) steer the ship and comply withhelm orders; (2) keep a proper look out; and (3) contribute to a safe watch. Each mustperform every required demonstration using actual equipment or an approved fullmission simulator. All steering and helm assessments must occur on a vessel of at least100 GRT or a full mission ship simulator programmed to realistically simulate thehydrodynamic properties of vessels of at least 200 GRT (500 GT), equipped with arudder order indicator, a rudder angle indicator, gyrocompass, magnetic compass, and asteering stand which permits the steering to be switched from hand to gyro. Theassessment of the ability to contribute to monitoring and controlling a safe watch mustoccur aboard a ship at sea.7. To serve as a shipboard assessor for assessment of an applicant’s practicaldemonstrations of skill, a mariner must read the publication CONDUCTING MARINERASSESSMENTS: A Practical Manual for Assessors. This 13-page document is availableon the World Wide Web at df. Ashipboard assessor who witnesses a practical assessment must sign the appropriateAssessments of Competence form (Enclosure (1), attachment (B)) and indicate that he orshe has read and followed the guidance in the manual. A shipboard assessor who has readthis document and uses the Assessments of Competence forms will ensure fair,standardized assessments of an applicant’s ability to competently perform the assessedtasks. The prospective shipboard assessor must be employed on the vessel serving as theplatform for the demonstrations. The assessor must be a licensed deck officer holding anunlimited second mate or higher level license, and appropriate STCW-95 certificate ormaster holding a limited license and STCW-95 certificate at the management level(master).6MILITARY SEALIFT COMMAND
USCG POLICY – Enclosure 1 of NMC Policy Letter 14-028. Provided that completion of a training course is approved as such, a mariner whocompletes the course may be issued an interim STCW certification endorsed "Ratingforming part of a navigational watch - lookout duties only." This interim rating will bevalid for one year from them date of issue and may not be renewed. Mariners holding thiscertification may perform lookout duties while completing sea service required for thefinal rating.9. This STCW certification may be issued to any mariner who provides proof of one year ofsea service in a relevant capacity within the deck department between 1 October 1986and 30 September 1991 without requiring completion of the assessments of skills.Completion of basic safety training is required.MILITARY SEALIFT COMMAND7
