M3000-3.5.10

International conventions, certificates and onboard documentation

M3000-3 · Onboard Ship Operation · M3000-3.5 Legislative Requirements

Distinguishes international conventions, the statutory certificates they generate, and the operational documents a Master maintains, with particular focus on the differences examiners probe most — SMC versus DOC, IOPP versus ORB, and BDN versus bunker sample.

Independent preparatory study aligned to the MCA Master (Yachts less than 3000 GT) examination syllabus (updated June 2026). Not an MCA-approved course and confers no credit toward a Certificate of Competency.
