CAUTION
This handbook
should be used only as a broad introduction to, or survey
of, the requirements of the STCW Convention. Readers are cautioned
not to rely on this handbook for other purposes. The STCW
Convention is an international legal instrument, and it contains
many provisions which have not been described in this handbook.
Reference should be made directly to the STCW convention,
with its Annex and STCW Code, to ensure the specific wording
and full context of each requirement can be properly taken
into account when the Convention is to be interpreted or implemented.
Reference should also be made to national implementing policies
& regulations.
