Obtaining a Second Engineer license, certification, or re-validation in MARINA is sometimes confusing. That’s why we need a summarized list of documentary requirements based on MARINA’s STCW Circular No. 2014-11. Feel free to check the licensing, certification, and re-validation requirements below.

LICENSURE:

1. Accomplished 2/E Licensure Examination Form
2. Birth certificate showing that the candidate is not less than 20 years of age (NSO authenticated);
3. Approved seagoing service, for a period of:
   1. Class I
      • Not less than 12 months as OIC-EW on ships of 750 kW propulsion power or more; OR
