Indian CDC

 

The Indian Continuous Discharge Certificate or C.D.C. as it is popularly referred has been a scourge for many aspiring seafarers. We at Travco Holidays Pvt. Ltd. assist the seafarers in obtaining their Indian CDC without any hassle at a very reasonable cost.

 

Why is Indian CDC required?

  • All seafarers (Indian nationals) will no longer be able to fly out of the country to join ships without valid STCW training and an Indian CDC. Hence it is mandatory for every seafarer to hold one to make it possible to join duty onboard.
  • As per the Directorate General of Shipping ‘s(DGS) new rule, the seafarer’s Indian CDC number which is entered in the DGS website page e-Governance is accessible to the immigration officers at all airports in India.

Who is eligible for an Indian CDC?

  • Crew registered via recruiting and placement service supplier must hold Directorate General (DG) approved STCW 2010 and INDOS number can apply for an Indian Seaman’s Book.
  • Crew must have completed minimum qualification of SSC (10TH STD) and should be medically fit.

When can an Indian CDC application be refused?

  • Crew who submit certificates for training completed on board are not recognized by DGS.
  • Incorrect information updated on the profile maintained by DGS.
  • Data on STCW Certificates, 10th Standard mark sheet and medicals do not match the Indian Passport.
