Qualifications of seafarers

As part of the implementation of the Convention SCTW95 of the IMO (International Maritime Organisation) on Standards and Standards for the Training of Seafarers, the application ITEM (Informatisation of Titles of Maritime Education) allows: the management (registration, issuance, revalidation) of STCW95 or national titles for a holder (patented seaman) and the production of statistics (from which these data sets are produced).
This application, under the control of the Maritime Affairs Directorate (Sea Peoples Sub-Directorate, GM1 office) is developed and hosted by the Maritime Information Systems Sub-Directorate.
