This MIN replaces MIN 591, which was published on 26 March 2019 and expires on 30 September 2020.

The CoC numbers of those seafarers that are affected by this MIN are listed in the Annexes of this MIN.

Notice to

  • shipowners
  • masters
  • officers and all those concerned with seafarer training.

Seafarers holding certificates of competency (CoC) that were issued on the basis of short courses completed at JWC International Private Limited Marine Academy, Bhubaneshwar, Odisha, India must either complete and pass an online assessment or provide evidence that they have undertaken further approved training by Thursday 2 January 2020.

Failure to comply with this MIN will result in a seafarer’s CoC being suspended pending an inquiry, which may ultimately result in the cancellation of a seafarer’s CoC.
