In addition regarding Basic Safety Training refresher courses:

b) Most of the training centers issue the Basic Safety Training certificates for 5 years and many Port States recently request documented evidence for “evidence” as column 3 of STCW tables A-VI/1-1 and A-VI/1-2 above, not accepting on board training because not in line with the STCW requirements.
c) Many companies subject to TMSA 3 requirements request refresh courses and exam as evidence to verify the “competency” for their crew regarding safety and security aspects, namely refresh courses for BST and ISPS related courses that will include certification and exam.
