Merchant Shipping: Training

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the Government plans to review the Certificates of Equivalent Competency system.

Answer

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency has a specialist team that checks that any seafarer, who applies for a Certificate of Equivalent Competency to allow them to work on a UK-flagged ship, meets the necessary standards.

The UK Government is satisfied that the process is working and has no plans to change the current arrangements.
