STCW Gap-Closing Requirements
Effective March 24, 2014, regulatory changes require additional training and/or assessments for certain Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping (STCW) endorsements. These “gap-closing” requirements apply to mariners who hold STCW endorsements issued under previous regulations.

Mariners who submit applications without proof of completing gap-closing requirements may have their STCW endorsements limited with the notation:
“Not valid after 31 Dec 2016.”

Please note: Gap-closing requirements do not affect the limitation or retention of national endorsement.
