[redsat2000]

May 02nd, 2019

Reference: USA MMC & Endorsement Assessment

Dear Sir /Madam,

I have been working in various fields of activity for the Maritime Sector for 30 years. I worked as Deck officer, Chief Officer, and Master in foreign-flagged vessels for 7 years. I have received the Certificate of Lead Auditor (ISM & ISO-9000) by Ferriby Marine and IMO Model Courses 6.09. I am currently working as an Academic Teacher at Piri Reis University and as a Marine Lecturer at BILDENIZ Seafarers Training Center.

I currently have Ocean Going Master-Unlimited and GMDSS GOC qualification. My competency certificate, Seaman book, and STCW certificates are approved by the Turkish Administration. Valid until 03/2024. (See Annex –A)

I am an alien, as defined under section 101(a)(3) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq.) (the Act), who am lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence, as defined by section 101(a)(20) of the Act. (See Annex –B)

I have the capacity to qualify for an Officer endorsement in a capacity other than an Operator of Uninspected Passenger Vessels limited to less than 5 GRT according to 46 CFR 10.221.

I submitted to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for my TWIC application in accordance with 49 CFR 1572.17(a)(11) on January 29th, 2019. I obtained a TWIC card ( Transportation Worker Identification Credential Card) by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). (See Annex-C)

I have a Medical Certificate Examination Certificate for Seafarer by General Directorate of Health for Border and Coastal Areas of Turkey. This Certificate is issued in accordance with the national ‘’ Directive on Seafarer Health’’ prepared in line with STCW Convention 1978 as amended and IMO/ILO ‘’ Guideline on Medical Examinations of Seafarers’’ (Geneva ILO 2013), also recommended MLC 2006. (See Annex-D)

I would like to apply for a U.S. MMC (Merchant Mariner Credential) as of my current status. I would appreciate it if you would like to inform me about the issues below.

1. Can I obtain a US MMC by reviewing my case? Can I get an endorsement to work on American flagships?
2. Depending on my current Transcripts and Maritime Service Periods Is there a missing training or USCG exam that I have to complete according to the relevant US laws and requirements? (See Annexes E, F, G, H)
3. Is my Medical Examination Certificate valid for the U.S.? Do I need to obtain a new Medical Certificate from MMLD?

Your advice and evaluation of this subject are very important to me. It will make a great contribution to continue my maritime profession in America. Thank you in advance for your answer.

Sincerely yours

Capt. Ugur KILINC
(MBA. MSc.)

Yaptığım araştırma sonucu benim bu işlemleri yapmam için USA da olmam lazım. (60 günlük süre verilmiş tamamlanamaması durumunda başvuru iptal oluyor ) Çünkü
Periodic Drug Test (CG Form 719P) testin yapılması (TURKIYEDE YOK)
CG-719B formumu imzalayacak USCG tarafından yetkilendirilmiş kişinin imzası (Oath-Have Oath administered by any Coast Guard) (TURKIYEDE BASARAMADIM)
ve Medical Sertifikamın USCG formu gibi olması gerektiğinden dolayı ekstra onaylı hastaneden tekrar gemi adamı olur raporu almam (TURKIYEDE YOK) gerekiyor.
Ayrıca 145 usd ödeme

USA varışta 60 gün içerisndeki tarihler içerisinde olursam bu eksiklikleri tamamlayacağım. Aksi taktirde tekrar başvuru yapacağım. USA da deniz sektöründe çalışan arkadaşlar başvuru yapabilir. Şuan herşey normal gitmekte

Bugün USCG Miami Regional Exam Center 'a uğradım. Merchant Mariner Credential (Gemi adamı Cüzdanı) için durumumuzu birinci ağızdan öğrendim. Yaşlı ve konusuna hakim aksi bir ihtiyar bayan kısa ve net olarak geçmişte olan başvuruma baktı. Durumuzu söylece özetledi. Biz Zabit /Kaptan veya Mühendis ehliyetlerimizle MMC ve /veya endorsement uygunluk belgesi alamıyoruz. Sadece Bu hak US vatandaşlarına tanınmış. Bu açıdan bu bilgi daha sonra bu konuda ileride gelecek arkadaşlar için referans olacaktır. Herhangi bir harç ile ilgili harcama veya inceleme için lütfen para harcamayın.
