NMSA launches a streamlined digital process for maritime qualification renewals.
NMSA has launched a streamlined digital process for renewing maritime qualifications, reducing the time seafarers spend travelling to Port Moresby to lodge paperwork.
Seafarers holding a current Certificate of Competency can now submit a renewal application, upload supporting documents and track progress without attending an NMSA office in person.
What you will need
- Your existing certificate number and expiry date.
- Evidence of recent sea service.
- Proof of identity.
- Payment of the renewal fee.
New certificate applications continue to follow the existing process. The Authority will extend the digital service to further certificate types during the year.
