NAVIGATION AND VESSEL INSPECTION CIRCULAR NO. 07-14

Subj: GUIDELINES FOR QUALIFICATION FOR STCW ENDORSEMENTS AS

RATING FORMING PART OF AN ENGINEERING WATCH

Ref: (a) International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping

for Seafarers, 1978, as amended (STCW), Regulation III/4 and Section A-III/4 ofSTCW Code, incorporated into regulations at 46 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)

12.103

1. PURPOSE. This Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC) provides guidance onqualification for and revalidation of STCW endorsements as Rating Forming Part of an

Engineering Watch (RFPEW).

2. ACTION. The Coast Guard will use this NVIC and 46 CFR 12.609 when establishingwhether mariners are entitled to hold STCW endorsements as RFPEW. Officers in Charge,

Marine Inspection (OCMIs) should also bring this NVIC to the attention of the maritime

industry within their zones of responsibility. This NVIC is available on the World WideWeb at http://www.uscg.mil/hq/cg5/nvic. The Coast Guard will distribute it by electronicmeans only.

3. DIRECTIVES AFFECTED. This NVIC cancels NVIC 01-06, Guidelines for Assessment ofMerchant Mariners Proficiency for Certification as Ratings Forming Part of an

Engineering Watch through Demonstrations of Skills, and and those portions of National

Maritime Center (NMC) Policy Letter 14-02, Qualifications for Deck and EngineeringRatingsthat are only applicable to RFPEW.

4. BACKGROUND.

a. The STCW Convention and STCW Code, sets forth standards for training and

certification for merchant mariners, including mariners serving as RFPEW.

b.

In order to implement the 1995 amendments to STCW, the Coast Guard published NVIC01-06 and NMC Policy Letter 14-02 providing guidance on how mariners may qualify

for endorsement as RFPEW.

c. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) amended the STCW Convention andSTCW Code on June 25, 2010. These amendments entered into force for all ratifying

countries on January 1, 2012.

d. The Convention is not self-implementing; therefore, the U.S., as a signatory to the STCW

Convention, must initiate regulatory changes to ensure full implementation of the

amendments to the STCW Convention and STCW Code. The U.S. implements theseprovisions under the Convention and under the authority of the applicable domestic laws

in United States Code, Titles 33 and 46.

e. The Coast Guard published a final rule on December 24, 2013 (78 FR 77796) that

implements the STCW, including the 2010 amendments. The Coast Guard is publishing

this NVIC to provide guidance on complying with the new regulations and is cancellingprevious policy. Accordingly, this NVIC cancels NVIC 01-06 and relevant portions of

NMC Policy Letter 14-02.

5. DISCUSSION.

a. Policy regarding the endorsement as RFPEW is located in this NVIC, including forms to

facilitate compliance with the regulations. Enclosure (1) details specific requirementsfound in the regulations for this endorsement. Enclosure (2) contains the nationalassessment guidelines for this endorsement. Enclosure (3) may be used to record

completion of assessments. Enclosure (4) provides a transition scheme for mariners who

have begun qualifying for RFPEW using the assessments in the now cancelled NVIC 01-06. Enclosure (5) provides relevant excerpts from the STCW Convention and STCW

Code.

b. Many U.S.-flag vessels use automated engine rooms where non-licensed engine-

department personnel are non-watchstanding. Service, training, and experience gainedby engine-department day-workers or dual-department workers on U.S-flag vessels with

automated engine-rooms will be acceptable towards meeting the minimum servicerequired for certification as RFPEW when the applicant has demonstrated his or herability to perform the individual functions associated with watchstanding duties.

c. Qualified Assessors (QAs) are encouraged to use either the guidelines in Enclosure (2) oran alternative as discussed in paragraph 5.d.

8/10/2019 nvic-07-14_RFPEW_final_20140125

3/70


3

d. QAs may refine these published guidelines and/or develop alternatives since the

standards used on board any given vessel may need to be modified to be compatible withthe vessels equipment and operations manuals. A training institution submitting a

course or program that leads to an endorsement as RFPEW should state either that the

guidelines in Enclosure (2) will apply, or provide the guidelines it proposes to use.

However, under 46 CFR 10.402(e), a training institution must submit any deviations fromthese guidelines to the Coast Guard for approval before use.

e. When applying for an RFPEW endorsement, the applicant need only submit the

completed Enclosure (3), Record of Assessment (or equivalent evidence of demonstration

of competency),tothe Coast Guard. The Coast Guard recommends that the applicant

retain a copy of enclosure (3) (or equivalent evidence of demonstration of competency),for his or her records.

6. DISCLAIMER. This guidance is not a substitute for applicable legal requirements, nor is ititself a regulation. It is not intended to nor does it impose legally-binding requirements on

any party. It represents the Coast Guards current thinking on this topic and is issued forguidance purposes to outline methods of best practice for compliance to the applicable law.You can use an alternative approach if the approach satisfies the requirements of the

applicable statutes and regulations.

7. ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECT AND IMPACT CONSIDERATIONS.

a. The development of this NVIC and the general policies contained within it have been

thoroughly reviewed by the originating office, and are categorically excluded (CE) under

current USCG CE # 33 from further environmental analysis, in accordance with Section

2.B.2. and Figure 2-1 of the National Environmental Policy Act Implementing

Procedures and Policy for Considering Environmental Impacts, COMDTINST M16475.1(series). Because this NVIC implements, without substantive change, the applicable

Commandant Instruction or other federal agency regulations, procedures, manuals, andother guidance documents, Coast Guard categorical exclusion #33 is appropriate.

b. This NVIC will not have any of the following: significant cumulative impacts on the

human environment; substantial controversy or substantial change to existing

environmental conditions; or inconsistencies with any Federal, State, or local laws oradministrative determinations relating to the environment. All future specific actions

resulting from the general policies in this NVIC must be individually evaluated for

compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), DHS and Coast Guard

NEPA policy, and compliance with all other environmental mandates.

8. RECORDS MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS. This NVIC has been thoroughlyreviewed during the directives clearance process, and it has been determined there are no

further records scheduling requirements, in accordance with Federal Records Act, 44 U.S.C.

3101 et seq., NARA requirements, and Information and Life Cycle Management Manual,COMDTINST M5212.12 (series). This policy does not create significant or substantial

change to existing records management requirements.

DISCUSSION OF QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR

RATING FORMING PART OF AN ENGINEERING WATCH

1. GENERAL.

This enclosure provides guidance to qualify for an International Convention on

Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978, asamended (STCW) endorsement as a Rating Forming Part of an Engineering Watch

(RFPEW) as specified in 46 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 12.609.

2. SEA SERVICE, TRAINING, AND DEMONSTRATIONS.

a. In accordance with 46 CFR 12.609(a) and paragraphs 2 and 3 of STCW

Regulation III/4, an applicant for an STCW endorsement as an RFPEW shall be

not less than 16 years of age and must provide satisfactory evidence of:

(1) Meeting the standard of competence as specified in Table A-III/4 of the

STCW Code (incorporated by reference, see 46 CFR 12.103 of this part); and

(2) Either of the following:

(i) Six months of seagoing service that includes training and experience

associated with engine-room functions, and involves the performance ofduties carried out under the supervision of an engineer officer or a

qualified STCW rating; or

(ii) Satisfactory completion of Coast Guard approved or accepted training

that includes a period of approved seagoing service of at least 2 months.

b. For qualification as an RFPEW, a day of approved seagoing service is 8 hours

associated with engine room watchkeeping functions that involve the performanceof duties carried out under the direct supervision of a qualified Engineer Officer

or a qualified rating (STCW Regulation III/4). As an alternative to 8 hours in

1 day, two periods from two different calendar days, each not less than 4 hourswill be credited as 1 day of sea service. When two such periods are combined as

a single day of sea service, no additional credit is given for periods served over 8hours total (46 CFR 10.107). Assessments and seagoing service should be

performed on a vessel of at least 1,000 HP (750 kW) with a walk-in engine room

(manned or periodically unmanned), generators independent of the main engineand other independent auxiliaries. Since many vessels no longer have manned

engine rooms, experience with engine room maintenance may be substituted forwatchkeeping experience. Sea service should be documented as specified in 46CFR 10.232.

3. ASSESSMENTS.

a. An applicant for an RFPEW endorsement without limitations for specificpropulsion modes or vessel equipment or systems should complete every

8/10/2019 nvic-07-14_RFPEW_final_20140125

6/70

Enclosure (1) to NVIC 07-14

2

assessment. This will allow service as an RFPEW on any steam, motor, or gas

turbine vessel. However, an applicant for an endorsement as an RFPEW limitedto service on vessels of a specific propulsion mode or vessels that are not

equipped with certain equipment or systems does not need to complete

assessments that are not applicable to the propulsion modes or systems for which

their endorsement will be valid. Applicability of individual assessments topropulsion modes and systems is noted in Enclosure (3). Failure to perform

certain assessments will limit the endorsement accordingly.

b. Mariners may continue to qualify using the previous model assessments until

December 31, 2016.

c. The Coast Guard may exempt an applicant from meeting any individual

knowledge, understanding, and proficiency required in Section A-III/4 of theSTCW Code. These exemptions will be approved by the Coast Guard based upon

vessel type. Under these circumstances, the certificate may include a

corresponding limitation (46 CFR 12.609(b)). To request such an exemption,please contact the Mariner Credentialing Program Policy Division (CG-CVC-4)

as discussed in paragraph 10 of this NVIC.

4. RENEWAL OF ENDORSEMENT. In order to renew an endorsement as an RFPEW, a

mariner must have completed the requirements for basic training found in 46 CFR 12.602

and meet the general qualification requirements for renewal of their national ratingendorsement(s) found in 46 CFR 10.227.
