USCG Exam PracticeMMC application and renewal — 46 CFR Subchapter B
A mariner holds an MMC with both national deck officer endorsements and STCW endorsements. The mariner elects to place only the national deck officer endorsements into a Document of Continuity while retaining a valid MMC with other active national endorsements. What is the effect on the associated STCW endorsements?
- A. The STCW endorsements remain valid until the expiration date of the active MMC
- ✓ The STCW endorsements associated with the national endorsements placed in continuity are no longer validCorrect
- C. The STCW endorsements are automatically placed in continuity alongside the national endorsements
- D. The STCW endorsements remain valid for 1 year after the national endorsements are placed in continuity
Why B is correct
46 CFR §10.227(g)(4) states that if an individual continues to maintain a valid MMC while placing specific national endorsements into continuity, those STCW endorsements associated with the national endorsements that were placed in continuity are no longer valid. STCW endorsements may not themselves be placed in continuity.
