If you would like to obtain the SV Engineer Officer of the Watch (EOOW) <3000gt/<9000kW CoC Training Record Book (this is described in MSN 1904 as ‘registering on a study programme’), we need the following from you, in order that we can issue a TRB to you (the book costs £35 plus postage):

Alternative Route

If you are doing the ‘Alternative Route’ we will need a copy of your Action Plan (usually issued by Warsash or IAMI), and a copy of your passport. We can then issue a TRB to you.

For info: once you have the TRB, you must complete a minimum of 6 months’ actual sea service engaged in watchkeeping duties or UMS duties. Sea service must be completed on vessels of at least 350 kW and you must document your onboard training during this period in the TRB, in addition to any further service laid out in your Action Plan.

Experienced Seafarer Route

If you are doing the ‘Experienced Seafarer Route’, there are 2 options to choose from, which have different service requirements. This is what we need from you in order to issue a TRB on these two routes:

1. ‘Limited to Yachts’ SV EOOW (previously SV 2nd Engineer Limited to Yachts) –

Proof of 24 months yacht service on vessels of at least 200 kW, which must include a minimum of 6 months actual sea service (90 days yard time can be submitted as yacht service, but not sea service).

(we need to see 2 forms of evidence of this service – usually a testimonial backed up by certificate of discharge/discharge book/PYA SRB. We can accept scanned copies at this stage and it does NOT need to have been verified by PYA/Nautilus at this point. Any yard service needs to be detailed in a report verified by the Master/Chief Engineer/Company).

NOTE: You can use an additional 3 months of yard / dry dock time to count towards the yacht service requirements above. This service above the initial 90 days permitted must be documented in the form of a company letter/proposal and be emailed to the MCA for approval, before using it to apply for a TRB;

Approved Engine Course I & II (AEC I & II) (we must see both certificates, scans are acceptable);

Basic STCW Safety Training Certificates (less than 5 years old, or updated. We must see all certificates, including the original course if they have been updated, scans are acceptable);

• Personal Survival Techniques (STCW Code A-VI/1-1);
• Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting (STCW Code A-VI/1-2);
• Elementary First Aid (STCW Code A-VI/1-2);
• Personal Safety and Social Responsibilities (STCW Code A-VI/1-4).

A copy of your passport.

For info: once you have the TRB, you must complete a further 12 months yacht service on vessels of at least 350 kW, which must include a minimum of 4 months actual sea service, and 6 months watchkeeping, whilst completing the SV Training Record Book.

This is all detailed on this page of our website.

2. ‘Unlimited’ SV EOOW (previously SV 2nd Engineer Unlimited) –

Proof of 24 months onboard service on vessels of at least 200 kW, which must include a minimum of 6 months actual sea service (90 days yard time can be submitted as either onboard service or sea service – Yacht Engineers may only submit yard service to count as onboard service, not sea service).

(we need to see 2 forms of evidence – usually a testimonial backed up by cert of discharge/discharge book/PYA SRB. We can accept scanned copies at this stage and it does NOT need to have been verified by PYA/Nautilus at this point. Any yard service needs to be detailed in a report verified by the Master/Chief Engineer/Company).

NOTE: You can use an additional 3 months of yard / dry dock time to count towards the service requirements above. This service above the initial 90 days permitted cannot be used in lieu of the 6
months sea service requirement. It must be documented in the form of a company letter/proposal and be emailed to the MCA for approval, before using it to apply for a TRB;

Approved Engine Course I & II (AEC I & II) (we must see both certificates, scans are acceptable);

Basic STCW Safety Training Certificates (less than 5 years old, or updated. We must see all certificates, including the original course if they have been updated, scans are acceptable);

If you are a Yacht engineer, you must complete 12 months yacht service and a minimum of 7 months actual sea service whilst completing the SV Training Record Book.
