Subject: FW: Georgia- recognition of CoC
Dear Sir/Madam,
I hope my email finds you well.
I am writing to you on behalf of Maritime Transport Agency of the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable
Development of Georgia with regards signing the Memorandum of Understanding on recognition of
Seafarers Certificate of Competency between government of Georgia and the Maritime Administration
of Estonia.
Please note that in 2013 Georgian CoC has been recognized by the EU and since we have signed number
of MoU's with the EU States.
For more information on Georgian CoC, I am sending you relevant documents along with the MoU
sample (IMO Circular MSC.1/Circ.1163/Rev.9, IMO Circular STCW.2/ Circ. 47.).
Recognition of Georgian CoC by the EU - http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-
content/EN/TXT/?qid=1456213362518&uri=CELEX:32013D0794.
In case of further clarification please do not hesitate to contact us.
We look forwards for our future cooperation.
Best regards,
Natia MIMINOSHVILI

MSC.1/Circ.1163/Rev.10
23 May 2016
INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION ON STANDARDS OF TRAINING, CERTIFICATION
AND WATCHKEEPING FOR SEAFARERS (STCW), 1978, AS AMENDED
Parties to the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification
and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW), 1978, as amended, confirmed by
the Maritime Safety Committee to have communicated information which
demonstrates that full and complete effect is given to the
relevant provisions of the Convention
1 The Maritime Safety Committee (MSC), at its ninety-sixth session (11 to 20 May
2016), received a report by the Secretary-General pursuant to regulation I/7, paragraph 2 of
the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for
Seafarers (STCW Convention), 1978, as amended. The report was in respect of two STCW
Parties whose information had not been fully evaluated previously. A list of the STCW Parties
which had communicated information that demonstrated that they were giving full and
complete effect to the relevant provisions of the Convention at that session of the Committee,
together with those which had previously been confirmed by MSC 95 (Wednesday, 3 to Friday
12 June 2015), MSC 91 (Monday, 26 to Friday, 30 November 2012), MSC 88 (24 November
to 3 December 2010), MSC 87 (12 to 21 May 2010), MSC 84 (7 to 16 May 2008), MSC 82
(29 November to 8 December 2006), MSC 80 (11 to 21 May 2005), MSC 79
(1 to 10 December 2004), MSC 78 (12 to 21 May 2004), MSC 77 (28 May to 6 June 2003),
MSC 76 (2 to 13 December 2002), MSC 75 (15 to 24 May 2002), the Committee's first
extraordinary session (27 and 28 November 2001), MSC 74 (30 May to 8 June 2001) and
MSC 73 (27 November to 6 December 2000), was promulgated by means of
MSC/Circ.1163/Rev.9 dated 15 June 2015.
2 MSC 96 noted that, in preparing the report required by STCW regulation I/7,
paragraph 2, the Secretary-General had solicited and taken into account the views of
competent persons selected from the list established pursuant to paragraph 5 of section A-I/7
of the STCW Code and circulated as MSC/Circ.797, as revised from time to time.
3 In accordance with STCW regulation I/7, paragraph 3, MSC 96 confirmed two further
STCW Parties, additional to those listed in MSC/Circ.1163/Rev.9, which had communicated
information demonstrating that it was giving full and complete effect to the relevant provisions
of the STCW Convention, as amended. The list in the annex contains those STCW Parties
confirmed by the Committee at its sessions referred to in paragraph 1 above. The Committee
noted that, as the process of communicating and evaluating information is continuing, further
Parties may be added to the list in the annex at subsequent meetings.

4 The Committee draws the attention of maritime administrations, shipowners, ship
operators and managers, ship masters and other parties concerned to the following:
.1 not all of the STCW Parties listed in the annex provide seafarer training, and
some of those Parties listed may only provide a limited range of training; and
.2 the fact that a Party is listed in the annex does not relieve those concerned
of their obligations under the STCW Convention.
5 As Parties are entitled to accept, in principle, certificates issued by or on behalf of
Parties identified in the list in the annex, and a position on that list is one of the necessary
measures used by many Administrations for the issue of endorsements in compliance with
STCW regulation I/10, the attention of port State control officers is drawn to the fact that this
circular was issued on 23 May 2016 and, therefore, some seafarers may, for practical reasons,
not hold certificates with such endorsements.
