Flag State Ready Reckoner

Endorsement Requirements by Registry

Checking what a flag state actually requires before you courier a seafarer’s documents shouldn’t mean digging through 30 different registry websites. Our Flag State Ready Reckoner covers CDC, Certificate of Endorsement (COE), GMDSS, and Tanker endorsement requirements across 33 flag administrations — Panama, Liberia, Marshall Islands, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malta, Norway, and every registry Prudence Marine Services handles from our Mumbai documentation desk. Search by flag name or filter by certificate type to see the exact document list — medical certificate, CoC verification, STCW courses, GMDSS endorsement — before you start the process. Requirements shift with class society and manning agreement, so treat this as your starting checklist; we’ll confirm the current circular before anything gets couriered.
