[QUOTE=power230;59462]You figure they would have learned a lesson after the spill, when they found out the hard way we didn’t have as many mariners as they thought with oceans endorsements. If you don’t pay extra for having the endorsements no one will get them. As I stated before vessel size is one thing but you have to pay for the license as well. There’s not many masters in my division with Oceans yet alone chief engineers. It wont be long before drilling is past the near coastal line. DDE unlimited with the C/E OSV and NC 1600 masters and chief limited NC won’t cut it. Same with the 6000 ITC, it doesn’t turn oceans for the engineer with the DDE Unlimited.[/QUOTE]
6000 ITC can be endorsed oceans, and you can take a boat international.
