Updates to Dynamic Positioning certification!
The Nautical Institute continues to work hard to process Dynamic Positioning applications. It has recently made a few changes to its DP certification, and few of them are listed below:
Offshore Old Scheme: Initial Training
The training time for initial certification for those on the Offshore Old Scheme has been increased from five to six years. This is for those who started the scheme before 1 January 2015 and hold a small blue logbook, or an A5 black logbook with a logbook number starting 121. If you are applying online, please contact NI on [email protected] to make your application eligible.
Revalidation applicants
DPOs whose certificates are due for revalidation from 1 March 2020 and 30 September 2020 are still able to apply for their new certificate in the normal way. Those due for revalidation are being processed online so applicants should ensure that their scanned documentation is clearly legible to avoid queries and delays. When a new certificate is issued, this will be issued for 5 years from the original expiry date.
All applicants
The Nautical Institute is still accepting documents into the office and processing applications so if you are ready to apply, please complete your application online and send your documents into NI office.
Once your application has been processed online, a letter with your certificate details will be issued and a PDF 'logbook' document will be downloadable from your account so that you can continue to record any DP time whilst you are waiting for your logbook to be returned with your new DPO Certificate.
