Hi

As per MGN 92 I don't think you would get an exemption, and indeed you may need to check your present sea time as I don't think it would count as normal time either (check with the MCA though!)

its unusual as most places in the world require at least Masters unlimited for Pilot / mooring master so sea time is never normally an issue.

I'm making the assumption you did your ticket in the UK.
