The STCW Convention and Code is continually being updated and amended to suit the changing requirements of the maritime industry. The ITF have produced previous guidance for seafarers under STCW 95 and the 2010 Manila amendments that reflect the necessary qualifications and experience of a seafarer dependent on their role and type of ship they are employed on.
The ITF, in conjunction with the Nautilus Federation, have produced this revised guidance to incorporate all the changes and amendments introduced since 2010. It is essential that all seafarers intending to sail on international vessels, after 1st January 2017, are fully compliant with the STCW Convention and Code and trust this guidance will be a useful aid to ensure a trouble free transition for all seafarers. The ITF will continue to revise these Guidance and treat them as a live document to be amended as appropriate.
