[QUOTE=cappy208;56672]I think your most logical way to debate this is in your statement. The CoastGuard states the minimum manning requirements for the vessel you worked on. They then can’t say, they won’t allow the use of 12 hour days on the same vessel that is authorized to have a two man watch.[/QUOTE]
They can if you’re an oiler, but since he keyed on the Master / Mate, I assume he is one or the other. That should be 12 hours - 1.5 days; there are exception to vessels below 100 tons, but I do not believe that includes OSV’s.
