Record-keeping aid

The International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) has published a new edition of its widely used personal training and service record book, to help qualified seafarers and their employers maintain a comprehensive record of training and seagoing service. The revision of the ICS book coincides with the end of the transitional period for the 2010 Manila Amendments to the International Maritime Organization STCW Convention and takes full account of the latest STCW requirements as well as developments such as the entry into force of the International Labour Organization’s Maritime Labour Convention.
