The United States Coast Guard has amended its policies toward upgrading from Able Seafarer (Deck) to Mate (Near Coastal and Oceans) Officer In Charge of a Navigation Watch (OICNW). NMC Policy Letters 01-02 and 16-02 were cancelled on July 1, 2011, and replaced with CG-543 Policy Letter 11-07.
In an effort to better explain the implications of this policy letter and to provide mariners with the options available to upgrade to Officer in Charge of a Navigational Watch, MITAGS-PMI have put together a Mariner Update Pamphlet which can be accessed by clicking here.
The revised Able Seafarer to Mate training programs are offered in Baltimore, MD as well as Seattle, WA. For more information or to schedule these courses please see below contact information:
