STCW

The International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW) is a global set of rules that ensure seafarers have the necessary skills, knowledge, and competencies to operate ships safely and efficiently. It establishes minimum training, certification, and watchkeeping standards to promote safety at sea, protect the environment, and ensure crew members are well-prepared for their roles. Adopted by countries worldwide, STCW helps create a consistent and reliable framework for maritime safety, enabling crew members from different nations to work together effectively on international vessels.
