HR-FLAG-L3.1

Two routes to an ovjera

HR-FLAG-M3 · Foreign certificates of competency · HR-FLAG-M3-A How foreign STCW certificates are endorsed for Croatian-flag yachts, which states qualify, the law exam and how yacht service counts.

Independent study. xplor is not affiliated with the Croatian Ministry of the Sea, Transport and Infrastructure (MMPI), any harbour master's office (lučka kapetanija), the Croatian Register of Shipping or any national or nature park, is not an authorised maritime school or training centre, and awards no licence, title, certificate or permit. Nothing in this course is an ovjera, a manning decision or immigration advice; only the Ministry, a harbour master's office or the police can rule on an individual certificate, crew or permit.
