What additional training is required for service on passenger vessels?
If you are going to work on a RO-RO passenger ship or a passenger ship other than a RO-RO vessel in a position where your duties are related to the safety of passengers, then you must obtain training to meet Reg. A-V/2 or A-V/3 of the STCW Code. The training covers assisting passengers, crowd control, passenger safety, and other training directed towards the safety of the passengers and the vessel. This training is not required to obtain the STCW form, but is a requirement of employment and proof of completion must be provided to your employer. Currently, there are no “relaxed assessments” and proof consists of a course completion certificate from a Coast Guard approved or accepted course or under certain circumstances certification from a designated examiner attesting to your proficiency. Forms and Application Information (Back to Top) How do I apply? You must submit a completed Application (Form CG-719b) and proof of all training or proficiency required for the rating sought.
