CM/M assessments and STCW

[QUOTE=Jeffrox;86346]So if one were already a Master 1600/3000-2nd Mate and getting hired by a compamy with a Master 6000 OSV program notwithstanding, which path to CM/M has the most grease? Do the Master 6000 OSV program -or- get the CM/M assesment signed off by the Master on your 6000 OSV?[/QUOTE]

Might as well take advantage of the loop hole and do the Large OSV assessments, and apply that STCW competency for CM/M.
