Standard for Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW)
As a result of being signatory to the International Maritime
Organization’s STCW 1995 Convention, Marine Safety is required
to implement a quality assurance system for the certification and
training of Canadian seafarers. Marine Safety is required to
implement this system in order to ensure Canadian seafarers are
internationally compliant and to prevent detentions of Canadian
vessels under Port State Control (PSC) in foreign countries. Also
this would permit Marine Safety to inspect foreign vessels for
STCW compliance. This new Canadian marine seafarer certification
regime, including medical standards, requires a supporting quality
assurance system, to meet the standards of the new STCW Convention.Table
