STAR Center online presentations on STCW 2010 requirements


To assist members of American Maritime Officers in meeting the requirements of the U.S. Coast Guard's final rule implementing STCW 2010, STAR Center has prepared presentations, which are available in a variety of formats on the STAR Center website.

As previously reported, STAR Center has prepared a step-by-step guidance sheet, which lists STCW 2010 requirements and compliance dates for mariners who already hold the required credentials to sail.

The U.S. Coast Guard has so far released 19 of the 26 NVICs related to the final rule, and STAR Center has been able to use the information to plan and schedule the necessary courses to accommodate AMO members. STAR Center has released the set schedule for all 'gap closing' courses for STCW through 2015. AMO members are encouraged to enroll in the courses they will individually need as soon as possible.
