IMO STCW CONVENTION

STCW (Standards of Training, certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers) stipulates explicit responsibilities of shipping companies to ensure that the seafarers they employ meet minimum international standards of competence and hold the necessary certification. Ships must be manned in accordance with flag state requirements and detailed training records of seafarers must be maintained. An important addition, adopted in 2010, is that companies must maintain individual records of seafarers' rest hours on board ship.
