The Shuttle Tanker sea service days are not the same as those in the Offshore Scheme. The Shuttle Tanker sea time days are considered the days from embarking to disembarking the DP Shuttle Tanker, however the times recorded for the Offshore Loading Operations should be done while the vessel is operating in DP mode. Although there is no active or passive time in this definition, the task section is designed to cover both the shuttle tanker and offshore training schemes. As a result, some of the tasks sections do specify that they need to be done in DP active mode.
Note about Shuttle Tanker DP Operations – offshore loading operations not conducted with the DP system in use shall not be counted as Offshore Loading Operations within the Training and Certification scheme.
