Route and Restriction: |
DE qualifications are limited to those routes that the DE is qualified to sail under the authority of their own credential.
Note: Licenses for Master of Towing Vessels Limited allow a mariner with limited geographic experience an opportunity to obtain a license. This license will authorize service only in limited geographic areas. Likewise, the authority to act as a Designated Examiner is restricted to the same areas of operation. |
How to become a Designated Examiner |
Requests for approval as a Designated Examiner are submitted to the National Maritime Center and must include a description of the mariner’s qualifications and service record, both specific to the tasks to be assessed. |
