When STCW attaches to a US-flag vessel

USCG-STCW-DECK-M1 · The STCW Deck Framework · USCG-STCW-DECK-M1-A National and STCW endorsements, when STCW attaches, GT against GRT, and the yacht trap.

STCW is not triggered by the word *yacht*. It is triggered by going **seagoing**, and then released for a defined list of small vessels on **domestic near-coastal** voyages.

AI-drafted catalogue content pending SME review. STCW deck endorsements depend on vessel GT, route and equipment and on an individual NMC evaluation of sea service and assessments, so no pathway here is a guarantee of issue; verify with the National Maritime Center and the current NMC checklists before applying.
