Mariners step up gap training to meet new STCW deadline

摘要

Mariners face another deadline to remain compliant with the updated Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW). By Jan. 1, deck and engineering officers must comply with new training requirements for management and teamwork under the 2010 STCW Manila Amendments, which also created a mandate for other mariners for additional renewal and skills refresher courses.
