Daft question about OOW licence classes

[EH75]

Just trying to do an application for Maersk Offshore and it comes to the certificates page and I'm not entirely sure what to pick for my OOW ticket. I have an OOW unlimited ticket, obviously but the options are:

Mate 1st Class (STCW II/2)
Mate 2nd Class (STCW II/2)
Mate 3rd Class (STCW II/2)

Anyone know which one to choose? Don't want to choose third class and find out that refers to a tonnage/area limit or something. I have googled this but can't find anything that makes this very clear tbh.

My certificate just says OOW Deck....

Righty then m'dear! You just need to know where to look I suggest EVERYONE bookmarks http://mnoticefinder.com/ as it is incredibly useful you can search m-notices by keywords, numbers etc.

So, you want to look at http://www.dft.gov.uk/mca/mgn_092%28m%29.pdf (MGN 092) Page 3.

You do not have a mate ticket, you have an OOW ticket, unlimited STCW II/1

Thanks very much for that S4. I haven't actually received my COC yet so couldn't check to see what is printed on it. I guess they must only be looking for people with Chief Mate licenses then as there are no other options on the drop down. Another one to score off the list!

Could be worth giving them a call to check!

[EH75]

Yeah I'll probably do that, cheers.

Call them, just cos it isnt on the list dont worry, that or just mail your CV in to them, those web pages are not written by anyone with any seafaring back ground

That list is very poorly written and does not accord with any system of qualification that I am familiar with.

Well it's an M-Notice, issued in 2000 as far as I can see, and is still valid. Seems pretty clear to me, what is it about how it's written you don't like?

[EH75]

Was he not referring to the list in my original post?
