SSC relief for seamen

07 Mar 2019 04:34 PM

There is big relief among Goan Seafarers as they can now avail of a Continues Discharge Certificate without SSC certificate after relaxation by the DG Shipping.



CDC is a seafarer's identity document issued in India.


It's mandatory for every seafarer to carry this document while on board.


But completion of SSC was a must to get a CDC.


The association said seafarers working more than 20 years on cruise liners.


When CDC was bought into the force in 2017, many of these seafarers were in trouble.
