Master COC Revalidation after expiry

0

Hi Guys, I am looking for COC Revalidation but have few things to clear

1. What is last date to apply for re-validation as per STCW 2010 (guess it was June 2017)
2. What all Courses needed for Master COC Revalidation (RUT + AFF + PSCRB Refresher) , any more ?
3. GOC expired In 2015 so is a Valid GOC needed to apply for COC or if that can be done afterwards .
4. What if it is not done by the new dead line then what will be the change in procedure ?

I have not sailed for last 3 years so did not track all the changes coming. Thanks for your inputs

  Hi Omer,
  

  1. I will quote from relevant DG Shipping Circular
     a) The Certificate of Competencies & Certificate of Proficiencies issued on / after 1st July 2012 and complying with STCW 95 will continue to remain valid till 1st July 2017 for all those seafarers who are already onboard a ship on the date of issue of this circular. However, all other seafarers who intend to join a ship on/after the date of issue of this circular are required to obtain the necessary STCW certificates and endorsements in accordance with the STCW 2010 amendments prior joining a ship;So the date is 1st July 2017 but for those who were sailing, you will have to renew your COC before sailing or max 01st July 2017. Attached DG Shipping Circular for referenceDG Shipping Circular STCW 2010 requirement till July 2017 (pdf) [1.22 MB]
  2. Following courses are required for COC revalidation
     (A) ECDIS Course
     I hope you have done ECDIS after 2013, anyways you can login to esamudra >> MASTER Checker >> Training Details, if your ECDIS Certificate is listed then its OK, else contact your Merchant Navy College to update it in Master Checker   
     (B) Revalidation course for deck officers
     This 11 days course include revalidation for following Merchant Navy Courses
     
     1. Refresher Medical Care Course
     2. Refresher PSSR Course
     3. Refresher SSO Course
     4. Maritime Labour Convention Course
     (C) AFF Refresher Course
     (D) PSCRB Refresher Course
  3. Valid GMDSS GOC is mandatory for COC Revalidation so GMDSS GOC Revalidation and GMDSS GIC Endorsement is to be done before COC Revalidation
  4. This is an ambiguous questions ! Nobody can predict changes in procedure ! Trust you meant can you renew COC revalidation after expiry ? Answer is YES but am not sure if it is same procedure or not !
  
  Both GMDSS Endorsement and COC revalidation requires 1 year sailing in last 5 years. Best of luck Omer and few posts which you might be interested in
  
  1. Indian COC Revalidation procedure
  2. GMDSS Renewal procedure
  3. GMDSS Endorsement Procedure (Done Online now through E-Samudra)
  4. Do not have 12M sea time in last 5 yrs
