This Circular advises interested parties of the special training and documentation requirements for merchant mariners serving on board passenger ships, other than Ro-Ro passenger ships, as prescribed by Regulation V/3 of the International Convention for Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping 1978, as amended (STCW). These requirements were adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) on June 4, 1997 as Resolution MSC.66(68). This amendment to STCW came into force on January 1, 1999. The U.S. regulations implementing this amendment had not been completed as of January 1, 1999. This Circular describes the STCW requirements for passenger ships on international voyages, other than Ro-Ro passenger ships (which are addressed in Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC) 6-98), and serves as recommmended practice for merchant mariners serving on passenger ships other than Ro-Ro passenger ships on domestic voyages. This Circular also advises all U.S. flag passenger vessel operators that after January 1, 1999, when their vessels are on international voyages, they may be subject to port State control boardings to ensure compliance with STCW Regulation V/3.
