A Seaman Record Book
or Continuous Discharge Certificate is a continuous record of a seaman's
service. This document certifies that the person holding is a seaman as per The
International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watch
keeping for Seafarers (STCW), 1978, as amended 1995. Every seafarer must carry
this document while on board, which is also an official and legal record of his
sea experience. The master of the vessel signs the document each time a seaman
is signed off from the vessel certifying his experience on board. This is one
of the most important documents while a seaman is travelling on board. Even if
a person has just this document, they have been called 'Seaman'.
· Leading cruise lines and manning agents prefer applicants for
shortlisting interview who hold valid seaman book
· Passport, STCW-95 certification and a Seaman Book are considered
essential travel documents for applying for a shipping or cruise line job or
career.
· To join any port-of-entry around the world, a seafarer may
require crew transit visa. Seaman Book is one of the compulsory document for
applying such transit visas
