DC Endorsement

Our DC Endorsement services ensure compliance for Oil, Chemical and  Gas tanker operations, enhancing your maritime consultancy experience.

About DC Endorsement

About

  • DCE signifies that the holder has  undergone  specialized training and possesses the necessary skills and  knowledge  to safely handle, transport and manage dangerous cargo onboard  these  types of ships. 
  • The endorsement is categorized into two levels -  Level 1  and Level 2 - based on the type and quantity of hazardous  materials  the seafarer is qualified to work with. Level 1 typically  covers basic  operations and handling of dangerous cargo, while Level 2  involves more  advanced procedures and larger quantities. 
  • Obtaining the  Dangerous  Cargo endorsement involves successfully completing rigorous  coursework  that covers topics such as cargo properties, safety  protocols,  emergency response procedures, and international maritime  regulations  governing the transportation of dangerous goods. 
  • This  endorsement is an  essential requirement for seafarers seeking employment  on Oil,  Chemical and Gas vessels, as it demonstrates their competence  and  commitment to upholding the highest standards of safety and   environmental protection while working with potentially hazardous   materials in the challenging marine environment.
