New Crew Standards

The new crew standards lay down the annual seatime requirements for coxswains and crews, minimum qualified crew on board for each type of vessel, and individuals qualifications.
The requirements for seatime are a minimum of 25 hours in the previous calender year for coxswains and 20 hours for crew
In addition those stations operating partially enclosed, the crew standards lay down the need for having on board a crew member trained in Simulated Electronic Navigation (Limited), a Transport Canada course or the CCGA-Ps own SIMnav course.
These requirements are summarised below:
