Phase 6 - STCW 95
The sixth and last phase of the FIC started on 1 August 2002 and finished on 30 November 2002. This phase looked at STCW 95 issues. AMSA surveyors revisited this area due to the extraordinary "grace" period recommended by the IMO prior to full enforcement of STCW 95 compliance, which expired on 31 July 2002.
During this phase, surveyors inspected 1043 ships and detained 28. This represents 2.7% of the eligible ships inspected. The detentions related primarily related to flag State endorsements for officer's certification.
AMSA surveyors issued a total of 93 deficiencies to 74 vessels (7.1% of those inspected) for the following categories;
| Category | Number | Percentage of total |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum Safe Manning | 12 | 12.9% |
| Certificates for Officers | 58 | 62.4% |
