Indian COC Revalidation procedure

0

Since each MMD is confused about Indian COC renewal, so trying to detail Indian COC revalidation procedure for all MMD might be a herculean task, but here is what I collected from most social Media Websites, DG Shipping Circulars and my personal Experience of COC revalidation.  I specially thank Capt Delson Roche for sharing his detailed experience.

Also remember by completing your profile you will get alerts before expiry of your Personal documents, as well as renewal procedures like these ! Our STCW 2010 sea-time calculator also guide you about STCW 2010 Courses required to be done and Seatime required for next Maritime Examination.

Presently MMD is re-validating Indian COC till 31 Dec 2016 if Refresher Courses are not done.
If Refresher Courses are done then Indian COC is renewed as per STCW 2010 with an extension of 5 years. We all know that this isn't that simple though !

Irrespective whether you have done STCW 2010 Courses or not, certain Merchant Navy Courses in India and Personal documents needs to be renewed for COC Revalidation.

Most MMD wants you to get your GMDSS Endorsement renewed prior applying for COC re-validation. As per STCW 2010 this GMDSS Endorsement is called GMDSS COC. You can download GMDSS Endorsement form ChecklistGMDSS Endorsement Form (zip) [631.38 KB]

Additional Requirement Deck COC renewal (STCW 2010)
Self attested copies of following documents are required

1. Refresher AFF Course - 1 day Course (Some College call it Refresher FPFF & Refresher AFF)
2. Refresher PSCRB Course - 1 day Course (Some College call it Refresher PST & Refresher PSCRB)

I am attaching the document Checklist part of COC Revalidation Form, however do not be surprised if MMD is using different COC renewal form !
These days MMD Is changing forms (even manually) on their whims, causing more confusion ! In an attempt to seek uniformity, I have filed an RTI to DG Shipping for vague forms and procedures. I am also attaching all relevant DG Shipping Circulars for Deck Department COC revalidation.RTI for DG Shipping Forms (zip) [9.21 KB]COC Revalidation Deck DG Circulars (zip) [1 MB]
Special notes on Personal Experience
Thanks to Capt Delson Roche for below details.

1. MMD Mumbai, additionally want you to fill MMD PROFILE in CAPITAL LETTERS. Documents to be submitted and COC collected at Window 4 of MMD Mumbai. (MMD Seafarer Profile not required at MMD Mumbai)
2. For Master COC Revalidation some DG Shipping approved Merchant Navy Institutes collect your documents and apply on your behalf.
3. Since I got my COC revalidated till Dec 2016 (did not do Refresher Courses this time as have long waiting), I got my COC stamped and validity extended in the same day of applying.
4. For new COC it takes 6 to 7 days after applying.

Since different MMD have different time span within which they revalidate COC, I have filed an RTI to DG Shipping for time bound services. Please contact MMD for exact duration within which it will be done in your MMD.

Would appreciate if you can leave a feedback too to help other mariners or share your COC revalidation experience with us. Best of luck !

  An addendum - got may very upgraded to 2010 requirement. I was asked to apply through the institute where I did my reval and refresher courses. Need medical not older than 6 months. Self attest all documents.  It takes only 2 days in Mumbai. All the best. Please update accordingly. Thanks. Deep Dsouza.
  
  One more thing- go there at 1000 and submit your COC. Take copy of page where it is written for extension of lisence. Sign that page and submit at counter no.1. She will call you back at 1300. By 1310 we had finished and was out of the MMD.
