Contents

The STCW-F Convention consists of 15 articles, one annex containing technical regulations, three appendices and nine resolutions. The Convention sets certification and minimum training requirements for crews of seagoing fishing vessels, which countries are obliged to meet or exceed. Chapter I of the annex contains “General provisions”, and Chapter II deals with “Certification of skippers, officers, engineer officers and radio operators”. Chapter III outlines the basic safety training requirements for all fishing vessel personnel. In this context, fishing vessel personnel shall, before being assigned to any shipboard duties, receive basic training or instruction and shall meet the appropriate standard of competence in the following areas:
personal survival techniques, including donning of lifejackets and, as appropriate, immersion suits;
fire prevention and firefighting;
emergency procedures;
elementary first aid;
prevention of marine pollution; and
prevention of shipboard accidents.
Finally, Chapter IV details requirements to be observed on board in relation to keep a navigational watch on board the fishing vessel (watchkeeping).
