It means the same thing Ironhorse. Master any Gross tons OSV or Master of Large Offshore supply vessels 500 tons domestic 6000 tons ITC or Master 6000 ITC is all the same. I personally have never seen the Master Any gross tons “YET” I have the Master OSV. It doesn’t state a tonnage restriction on it, but it is understood up to 6000 tons becasue that is the definition of an OSV. I know you know this because you say limiting only subchapter L vessels.<br><br>You are right though about knowing ahead of time exactly what you qualify for, how and why. The chances of things falling through the cracks are slim and who really want to fall through the cracks anyway? I know I don’t. <br><br>The catch with the speedy process with NMC West Virginia, I knew things were going way too fast. They just figured out that I need my STCW with this transaction. Never mind it is clearly stated on my application, my STCW is just now being reviewed. So even though my license is printed and on its way it means nothing because I do not have the STCW to back it. Oh well, my sea time will start counting towards my Chief Mate at least.
