Does Sub M require mariners holding Inland licenses to obtain STCW OICNW? @jdcavo
I don’t think Subchapter M requires anyone to obtain OICNW.
STCW doesn’t apply on inland waters so an inland only license holder wouldn’t ever need it and I don’t think is eligible to get it anyway.
My thoughts too. I’m arguing with someone about it and I can’t find any reference to OICNW in Sub M yet. My sparring partner insists that it does.
Sub M primarily refers to previously uninspected towing vessel having to apply for and maintain a COI … and all that entails. The biggest change will be vessel logs and a company MS system.
The burden of proof lies on the person making the positive claim since you cannot prove a negative.
No.
