Vanuatu License Endorsement

Professional Mariner Forum
1

Hello all. I’m preparing to apply for a Vanuatu endorsement on my Master’s License. Does anyone know if the endorsement carries over when the mariner upgrades tonnage limitations on his license or must he re-apply for a new endorsement based on the upgraded tonnage limitations? For instance, a Master has a 500 GRT license along with a Vanuatu endorsement. He upgrades to 1600 GRT. Would the Vanuatu endorsement be valid for the new tonnage?
Thanks!

many flag states require license endorsements to work on their vessels.

  1. they check your license is real and your stcw95 certs are current and meets their requirements for your license level.
  2. most will also issue a discharge book as well
  3. they get some income from this

You have to hold documents issued by the flag under which the vessel is registered.
