Master 150

The Master 150 Domestic ticket is the first entry-level “non-limited” certification available and is the next step above the Master Limited 60 GT.

The holder of the “150 Ton” certification can operate vessels up to 150 GT within 25 NM of shore under (Near Coastal 2 voyages).

Additionally, with specific seatime qualifications detailed in our Marine Personnel Requirements, you can obtain a “Limited, Contiguous Waters” endorsement, extending your voyaging range beyond Near Coastal 2 limitations, albeit not reaching the expanse of NC1.

Requirements:

24 months of sea time on a vessel of 5 Gross TOnnage or greater, or 12 months of sea time operating as a Cheif Mate 150 GT.

After completing the prerequisites each applicant must pass an Oral Seamaship Exam.
