Sir,I have a 100 ton n/c master lic.and a a/b unl.ticket,Had the 100 ton since 06,I renewed my a/b and stcw when I applied for my lic.in 06.After recieving my credentials I started out working AB/training capt.on a vessel over 200 tons until I could be placed on a 100 ton vessel,my question is how much sea time is require to keep my stcw without losing it,I had planned to upgrade but had a few setbacks,I know if I had to,I could do the refresher course,but hopefully dont have to,due to the cost.thank you for any input.

You need one year of near coastal or oceans time in the past 5, or need to take a BST refresher course (or re-take the originals if you can't find or it's not covenient to take a refresher).
