Thanks for the dialog. My question how is the cg treating 11.402 (b) specify the tonnage limitation for persons on training vessels that are not >= to 10,000itc under the part (b) calculations. I see first hand people being issued 3rd mates without restrictions is this going to be the new norm.

The vessel does not need to be over 10,000 gt, only 1600grt/3000gt. That cfr is saying once the tonnage limit calculated for your license gets over 10,000 gt then it is lifted. I can’t imagine it is possible to get a limit that high without having enough time on unlimited vessels to lift it regardless of the calculated tonnage.
