- A. The mariner must present evidence of 1 year of sea service during the past 5 years, the same as a standard renewal.
- ✓ The mariner must complete a course approved for re-issuance of lapsed credentials, or pass the complete examination for original issue of the endorsement.Correct
- C. The mariner must apply as an original applicant and take the oath required under §10.225(c), but no examination is required.
- D. The mariner must petition the Commandant for a waiver before any examination may be scheduled.
Why B is correct
46 CFR §10.227(i)(1) requires that an applicant for re-issuance of a deck officer endorsement more than 12 months after expiration must demonstrate continued professional knowledge by completing an approved course or by passing the complete examination for original issue. Standard renewal professional requirements under §10.227(e) do not apply in this circumstance.
