Understand there is concern with the inspector observation, and as per our clarifications in the owner’s response on this matter.
Attached please find all documents supporting the qualification of the Chief Officer by the Thai Marine Harbor Department, in accordance with the STCW convention, and its amendment.
I have attached the application letter and employment guarantee letter that we had used for the application request for this Certificate of Competency Chief Mate valid only for service on MT Arista 2.
Moreover, there is also the guarantee letter from Thai Marine Harbor Department that after the 2 days of process and required oral interview examination,
he was found passed to have the competency to perform the function of Chief Officer.
We have also ensure validity of the certificate with the same method as Port State Control by typing the number of the certificate no. 5909DY0007
in the Certificate Verification Database of the Flag State (http://seafarers.md.go.th:7474/WebMD/search_En.jsp).
Which the system clearly show that our Chief Officer does have a valid certificate of “Chief Mate Near-Coastal Ships” , and validity period from 2 June 2016 to 1 December 2016. (in the attachment)
For your reference, we have attached the Chief Officer certificate and the safe manning requirement of our vessel.
