Rules of the Road, Deck Safety and a Deck General/Deck Safety/Navigation General combination exam. This last module is the same (011xx) required by 2nd Mates and Chief Mates when adding the Master 1600 to their license

**godspd44** · July 2nd, 2012, 06:20 PM

Now all you need is sea time to upgrade to 1600 master right?

Make sure you get endorsed for Master OSV 3000 GT ITC

Option 1: Service Requirements from valid Master 500 OC/NC:
(Mariner holds valid endorsement as Master 500 OC/NC). He/she may have the MMC
endorsed for service as Master of OSVs of not more than 3,000 GT upon
domestic near coastal waters. (No additional training, assessment, or exams
required).
