National Maritime Center requests mariners with STCW endorsements verify, update contact information


The following bulletin was released by the U.S. Coast Guard's National Maritime Center and is available online.

This notice serves as a request to merchant mariners with non-expired Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW) endorsements to confirm their contact information with the National Maritime Center.

The regulation that implements amendments to the STCW Convention is expected to be published soon. In order to ensure timely delivery of documentation from the NMC that will result from this rulemaking, we are requesting that all mariners with non-expired STCW endorsements provide us with their most current contact information as soon as possible. If there have been no changes to your contact information (including mailing address, phone number, and e-mail address) since your last credential transaction, no action is required.

For questions, or if you are unable to access the link above, contact the National Maritime Center by or by calling 1-888-IASKNMC (427-5662).
