Endorseme Tool

Sail anywhere

This EndorseMe tool is designed using an easy-to-use database format, to simplify the search and categorisation of information specifically related to the recognition Certificate of Competency (CoC). This is geared towards seafarers across all EU member states, and third countries.

The primary objective of this online database tool is to provide accurate and up to date information, to seafarers, regarding recognition of their CoC status under two categories:

1. EU member state and third country recognition of their certification issued by their national administration; and
2. Their own national administrations’ recognition of other EU and third country CoC qualified seafarers.

The tool shows data in a drop-down menu, to simply cross-check of International STCW standardisation on recognition, between a selected country and other seafaring countries that will endorse certification. The information provided is using IMO and EMSA data, published by STCW participating countries official national administrations.

Find out in a few easy steps, initial, reliably sourced information from the EndorseMe project on where and how CoC qualifications are identified and recognised.
