Large OSV endorsement

**mrolnick** · August 23rd, 2008, 01:17 AM

I have an application that is currently being evaluated at Kearneysville for a Large OSV endorsement. My current license is unrestricted trade. I have heard of other Mariners that have lost their unrestricted trade status because the wording on their Large OSV endorsement
was written such that their license was only for OSV’s. Is anyone
aware of anything like this? Do I need to be concerned that something
like this could happen to me?

<A href="http://gcaptain.com/maritime/forum/account.php?u=545]mrolnick</A> - If your license is un-restricted now this will be a stand alone license and will not affect you current license. It should read when you get it back MASTER of Offshore Supply Vessels (Either Upon or NC). On your STCW; Master Limited to service on motor propelled OSV's and you will also have the Master 1600, 3000ITC on the STCW. Lee

Capt Lee, Thanks. So will I have 2 separate licenses or is the large OSV a stand alone endorsement?

**Capt. Lee** · August 23rd, 2008, 03:44 AM

Yes, you will have two stand alone licenses. I have the Master OSV, 1600 Master unrestricted, Master of Towing and 2nd Mate AGT.

Thanks again. DO you work for ECO?

Lee is the cabin boy on the Laney Chouest.

I started with them in Apr 07. Got my request in to transfer to an AHT. Not too many in BP division so I'm waiting in line. I came to Chouest strictly to knock out some schools, didn't intend to hang around. But they have some of the best boats, good payand good folks. Tough to beat. SO I figure I'll hang out awhile.

Ask to transfer to the Edison

**mrolnick** · August 23rd, 2008, 08:26 AM

It's already in place, just waiting for a spot. I'm told I'm next in line. We'll see what that means.

**anchorman** · August 23rd, 2008, 09:07 AM

Well, if that is true, you should be going over there next week, because two of the captains took office positions.

**mrolnick** · August 23rd, 2008, 09:11 AM

THanks. I'll be sure and mention it to my coordinator and Manager. They are the ones that have been telling me I'm next.

**Capt. Lee** · August 23rd, 2008, 01:12 PM

Yeah, I work at ECO on the Laney. Anchorman and I are both supposed to be filling in on the Edison so we may see you. Which boat are you on at the moment? My e-mail is ernest_freeman@yahoo.com You must be on the Kobe. Good Luck.

**mrolnick** · August 23rd, 2008, 01:22 PM

C-Legacy for a while. Right now I'm filling in on the Chariot until a spot on the Edison opens up. Hopefully soon!

**Capt. Lee** · August 23rd, 2008, 01:24 PM

Oh no!! you were with Pervert Tom!

**mrolnick** · August 23rd, 2008, 01:34 PM

I made sure I steered clear of the "JACK SHACK"

**chaos** · August 23rd, 2008, 03:42 PM

ask Tom about "Porkchop"

**anchorman** · August 24th, 2008, 09:48 AM

"Anchorman and I are both supposed to be filling in on the Edison" Really? That depends on who's the better politician.

**Capt. Lee** · August 24th, 2008, 10:06 AM

Well I guess I am screwed!

**mrolnick** · August 24th, 2008, 12:16 PM

How's the weather out there? I just drove thru a hell of a squall in Morgan City!

**mrolnick** · August 25th, 2008, 03:42 AM

Capt. Lee, I spoke w/ Shannon this morning & he tells me that it is only a temporary move for the guys off the Edison. That is why they are getting fill-ins instead of permanent replacements.
