notice is to provide a stream for Sailors serving in Indian Navy to
obtain Certificate of Competency under M.S. (STCW) Rules, 1998.

technical sailors (Artificers and Mechanicians) into the merchant
marine onboard Near Coastal vessels, there is no stream facilitating
lateral entry of Engineering Mechanics and
MECH ? 3/ERA- 3.
To facilitate seamless
induction of the engineering sailors of the Indian Navy viz.
artificers, mechanicians and engineering mechanics into the merchant
fleet, post release from service, at levels matching their training,
qualification and experience gained in the Indian Navy, the Chief
Examiner of Engineers, Directorate General of Shipping, Mumbai has
now considered educational qualification, training and service of
artificers, mechanicians and engineering mechanics who have served
in Indian Navy/ Coast Guard and have decided to create a stream for
such sailors for obtaining Certificate of Competency, which is
described as follows:
