Antigua and Barbuda Seafarers' documents

Seafarers Certification System

1.         The flag State Administration of Antigua and Barbuda recognizes Certificates

            of Competency of other countries, provided the country is Party to STCW and

            has demonstrated that it has given full and complete effect to the relevant

            provisions of the Convention.  This is done by issuance of endorsements

            according to the provisions of Reg. I/10 of the STCW and the IMO Circular

            STCW.7/Circ.1 Annex 3.

2.         The Seafarer’s Book (SFB) is mandatory under national law for all crew

members but it is not subject to inspections according to Article X of the

STCW Convention.

3.         This Administration gives full and complete effect to the Convention and fully

            implements its requirements as they are applicable to Antigua and Barbuda.

4.         The flag State Administration of Antigua and Barbuda neither does conduct

any national training or examination for seafarers nor issue Certificates of

Competency for seafarers in its own right.
