QUESTIONS

Key Notes• When a mariner’s service or training started prior to March 24, 2014, mariners

may be evaluated under the old regulations unless the mariner requests to be evaluated under the new.

• Tankerman applications where all qualifying service and training started after March 24, 2014 will be evaluated IAW the FR and this training.

• Acceptance of service on ATBs toward full Tankerman PIC may begin on March 24, 2014 as this benefits the mariners to do so and according to the Grandfathering/ Transitional NVIC 02-14 all sea service requirements benefitting the mariner will be implemented immediately.

• Tankerman Assistant examinations for mariners who started service or training after this date required if no course submitted.
