Minimum safe manning requirements for River-Sea Vessels Type 1<\/strong> come from Annexure F-3 of Circular No. 54 of 2025. The scale covers five GT bands, from F3-a to F3-e. The minimum crew increases from 3 persons for vessels below 200 GT to 8 persons for vessels of 3000 GT and above but below 6000 GT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

River-Sea Vessels, RSVs, are a distinct vessel classification from the Indian Coastal Vessels we covered in our last two guides, and this is the first of five posts covering their manning scales, Annexures F-3 through F-7. This guide continues our series on minimum safe manning requirements for Indian flag vessels<\/a>, building on what we’ve already published for ICV harbour operations<\/a> and ICV coastal operations<\/a>. It also builds on the earlier guides covering international voyages<\/a>, near coastal voyages<\/a>, Indian coast operations under Annexure C<\/a>, harbour operations under Annexure D<\/a>, and both Indian<\/a> and foreign<\/a> offshore areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
