Procedure leading to approval/empanelment as Internal Examiners for oral Assessment.

Applicable to: Principal Officers, Mercantile Marine Department & Surveyor-in-charge
Effective Date: 28.05.2014
Superseded Circulars: Directorate’s Circular No. 46 dated 24.05.2002

Key Changes and Requirements

1. New Procedure for Approval as Internal Examiners

Due to an increase in candidates and a shortage of qualified internal examiners, especially for higher grades, the following procedure is introduced:

  • MEO Class-I: Qualified as MEO Class-I, examined MEO Class-II for 60 months, examines repeaters only initially.
  • MEO Class-II: Qualified as MEO Class-I, examined MEO Class-IV for 12 months, examines with an approved MEO Class-II external examiner.
Note:  This procedure is a partial relaxation of higher qualification requirements.
Important Note

This issues with the approval of the Director-General of Shipping.
