Sea Service Letter or AMSA Coxswain Task Book to obtain a reduction in sea service hours

When making an application to the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) for a Certificate of Competency as a Coxswain they will require 2 essential components.
1. Your Coxswain course completion certificate and
2. Evidence of sea service experience.
Providing evidence of sea service experience can be done in one of two ways:

Firstly if you have the required 240 days (NC1) or 60 days (NC2) of sea time then you can provide a letter or Statutory Declaration (a legal document available at any newsagent) outling this experience.

It is possible to receive a significant reduction in sea service hours when an AMSA Coxswain Task Book is completed. The reduction in sea service hours can be as follows:

For a COX NC2 Certificate the 60 days of sea time (Can be 100% recreational or a combination of recreaction and/or commercial) is reduced to 7 days with a completed AMSA Coxswain Grade NC2 Task Book.

For a COX NC1 Certificate the 240 days of sea time (Can be 100% recreational or a combination of recreaction and/or commercial) is reduced to 30 days commercial with a completed AMSA Coxswain Grade NC1 Task Book.
