I’m aware that flashing light is no longer required for each upgrade of an unlimited license after initially obtaining OICNW. But what about from Mate 1600/3000 (OICNW) to Master 1600/3000? I took it for my Mates license, will I have to take it again for the STCW Masters? I see visual signaling on the OICNW checklist, but not the Masters.
Do you have OICNW now? If so, you don’t need it. It’s one-time only and you should have had to get it for OICNW.
Yes I have OICNW. Thank you for clearing that up for me!
