Coast Guard September 17, 2007 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Training and Service Requirements for Merchant Marine Officers
Document Number: E7-18191
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2007-09-17
Agency: Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security
The Coast Guard proposes to make administrative changes to the requirements for merchant mariner training and service. The proposed regulation would remove the expiration date of the radar-observer endorsement from the merchant mariner's license, allow for an apprentice mate of towing vessels to reduce sea-service time for mate (pilot) of towing vessels by completing additional approved training, and would provide an alternate path to mate (pilot) of towing vessels for master of steam or motor vessels not more than 200 gross register tons. These changes are intended to eliminate confusion and clarify training and service requirements.
