Dear All
Latest development for Indian mariners welfare, hearing the following from known circles, will anybody confirm this
You may collect the application forms from your company(fosma companies only), completed in all respects, (as if it was being submitted by the seafarers to MMD Exam Centre) along-with the requisite fees payable to the "Principal Officer, MMD, Mumbai" as Bank Draft and forward to us via the Company's representative.
They will issue the Tanker Endorsement or the Ratings' Watch-keeping Certificate, as the case may be, and hand over to your representative, for onward delivery to the seafarer concerned at your office.
This service will take time and may not be available immediately, However candidates who are interested can check with FOSMA office directly or your company directly.
