We do not issue a STCW endorsements in recognition of the Yachtmaster Offshore/Ocean certificates of competency since these are not certificates awarded in accordance with the STCW 1978, as amended. However, we can recognise them as certificates to serve on Cayman vessels up to a certain gross tonnage (for deck watch ratings up to 3,000 GT, unlimited; Master up to 200 GT for less than 150 miles from a safe haven; Chief Mate up to 500 GT for less than 150 miles from a safe haven; and Officer of the Watch up to 500 GT, unlimited distance from a safe haven). In addition, you will need a Seaman’s Discharge Book (SDB) and therefore you will need to apply for a SDB in order to obtain the recognition of your certificate.
