Q3- STCW Latest Amendment in 2023. Requirement for ETO at operational level?

Answer

Ans. MSC 487(103)- Applicability from 1 Jan 2023

Two amendments 1 in convention and 1 in code

Convention: Definition of high voltage

High voltage – AC/DC voltage in excess of 1000V

Code: Include the capacity of ETO (Electro technical officer)

As a recognized role under the definition of operational level in section A-I/1

What was happening, there was before actually a gap.

The functions in the standards of competence for ETO are provided at operational level, but the definition of term “operational level” did not include ETO.
