Irish Seafarers and employers of Irish Seafarers, take note!!
The Manila Amendments are very clear, irrespective of the validity of your Certificate of Competency.
Our own legislation is very clear!
Marine Notice No. 02 of 2014 states:
Seafarers holding valid STCW certificates issued prior to 1st January 2012 will have to meet the new requirements in order for their certificates to be revalidated beyond 1st January 2017.
Certificates that have been presented for revalidation since 1st January 2012 have an expiry date of 31st December 2016.
Seafarers revalidating their Certificates of Competency (CoCs) will be required to submit additional evidence to ensure their CoC is valid for service after 31st December 2016.
In conforming to the provisions of STCW Convention Regulation 1/14, and section A-1/14, of the STCW Code, companies must ensure that seafarers assigned to any of their ships have received refresher/updating training as required by the convention.
If you or a member of your team is serving on board a ship and is qualified in any of the following, they must, as of the 1st of January 2017, have documentary evidence of either having completed the training course or updated their training within the last 5 years.
Updated Proficiency in Personal Survival Techniques (STCW Table A-VI/1-1)
Updated Proficiency in Survival Craft and Rescue Boats Other Than Fast Rescue Boats (STCW Table A-VI/2-1)
Updated Proficiency in Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting (STCW Table A-VI/1-2)
Updated Proficiency in Advanced Fire Fighting (STCW Table A-VI/3)
Updated Proficiency in Fast Rescue Boats (STCW Table A-VI/2-2)
The law is very clear, do not put your career at risk, you cannot proceed to sea after January 1st 2017 without having complied with the Manila Amendments.

Still unsure about whether life on a Cruise Liner is for you? Check out a testimonial from a past delegate below;
“I completed the Gateway to Cruise Line and Ferry Industry course at the National Maritime College of Ireland. With top class facilities and exceptional, knowledgeable and experienced instructors, this course was a major success”.
“I have learned invaluable skills, gained awareness and knowledge which I will use when working on-board Cruise Liners. Having a past employee of a major Cruise Liner be part of this programme transformed the course and gave a real insight into the Cruise Line Industry. I could clearly imagine exactly what it would be like to work and live on-board”.
“I always had an interest in travelling the world while working; what it would be like to work on-board a cruise liner. Not alone does the course answer my question; it has also given me the training, knowledge and confidence needed to seek out work on-board a Cruise Liner. I would like to thank SNO, CETB and all the instructors for their time and dedication in making this course a major success”.
(Claire O’Halloran, Gateway to Cruise Line & Ferry Industry Delegate)
