Has the USCG stopped accepting the ITC Tonnage sea time for upgrading from 500 Ton to 1600 Ton Master Near Coastal. In other words, can the guys still use the over seas Crewboats sea time towards their raise in grade? I heard they stopped it.
A friend on an ECO crewboat in Africa recently sat for his Master 1600 based on the crewboat ITC tonnage time over there.
What is your source saying there has been a change?
water… This is just a rumor I heard, I have sent in an email to the USCG center about this so hopefully I will hear something back soon.
