Comprehensive review of the STCW Convention and Code

One of the principles is to provide for flexibility in terms of compliance and forrequired levels of training, certification and watch keeping arrangements due to

innovation in technology

The draft amendments suggest 84 new competence areas where methods fordemonstrating competence is approved simulator training, where appropriate
