USCG Exam Practice · STCW basic training (where applicable)
Under 46 CFR §11.317, an applicant for an STCW endorsement as master of vessels less than 500 GT limited to near-coastal waters must provide evidence of how many months of service as OICNW?
- A36 months
- B24 months
- C18 months
- D12 months✓ correct
Why D is correct
46 CFR §11.317(a)(1) requires 12 months of service as OICNW on vessels operating in oceans, near-coastal waters, and/or Great Lakes. This is significantly less than the 36-month requirement (reducible to 24 months) applicable to the unrestricted management-level master endorsements under §§11.305, 11.311, and 11.315.
