STCW Endorsements

Shortly after its establishment, and having communicated the required information to the Secretary-General of IMO, the Comorian registry was recognized by the International Maritime Organization as a party to the International Convention on Standards of Training Certification and Watch keeping for Seafarers (STCW) 1978, as amended, that gives full and complete effect to the relevant provisions for the Convention.

Since December 7th, 2001, when the Secretary general of IMO communicated to the Commissioner for Maritime Affairs that the Comorian registry had joined the White List of the STCW parties, this Flag Administration has been doing its utmost to ensure the effective and continuous implementation of the revised Convention's provisions, promoting safety of life at sea.

Applicants are kindly requested to submit the following documents for the issuance of Endorsements of recognition of their Certificates of Competency under the provisions of the STCW 78/95 Convention:

• Original Application Form duly completed and signed.

• Officer's Medical Fitness Certificate issued during the last 12 months (maximum)
• Four (4) coloured passport sized photographs
