For seafarers, building a career at sea often means meeting separate training, sea-service and competency requirements for different shipboard duties. This can make the certification process confusing, particularly for those seeking experience across both deck and engine-room functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To address this need, DGMA Circular No. 53 of 2026 sets out an alternative pathway for eligible ratings to obtain certification covering both navigational and engine-room watchkeeping functions. It introduces DGMA dual certification for seafarers, allowing them to obtain recognised certification for both navigational and engine-room watchkeeping functions.
