[QUOTE=power230;53833]I was simply stating the process is a joke, much like I stated how he has taken test that would blow away any assessment needing to get the 6000 ITC. I can understand having a DDE 500 ton guy complete the large osv program since you give the 3000 ITC Chief if requested without any assessment. So why would you require a Chief limited 1600/3000 to complete an assessment for the large osv, shouldn’t you give it to him like you do the DDE with the 3000 ITC?? That’s all I am stating. 90% of the guys with the 6000 are DDE 4000/unlimited. I’m pretty sure a guy like him holding a 2nd assistant, chief limited near coastal, and DDE unlimited is far more than qualified for a 6000 Chief.
The assesment doesn’t need to be done on a vessel over 3000 either, just a chief with the 6000 ITC. So explain to me how that makes sense? Draw the line with the DDE guys requiring an assesment to get the 6000 ITC on a osv over 3000 ITC and give the 6000 ITC to the guys holding a Chief Limited Near Coastal/Oceans like they currently do the DDE guys with the 3000 ITC.[/QUOTE]
DDE 4000 cannot get 6000 ton ITC. DDE unlimited can crossover to Chief OSV with no test. Then they can get a 6000 ITC
