• The system became centralised
• A common methodology is used
• The costs are reduced
• The findings are dissemminated

The total number of CoCs issued by country?
The total number of EU certified seafarers?
The number of seafarers from third countries serving on board ships flying the flag of an EU Member State?
The Age profile of EU seafarers?

STCW-ISObjectives in Phase 2
The number of cadets from MET institutions versus the age profileof existing seafarers?
The real shortage of EU seafarers? The impact will face the EU shipping
industry if EC will decide to withdraw the recognition of CoCs issued by a third country?
