If you are on the Shuttle Tanker DP Scheme, you will hold a burgundy A5 logbook. There are two versions of this logbook, depending on when your Induction Course was completed. Please check and make sure that you are downloading the correct guide.
Please note that the time for completing the initial training has been increased from four years to five years.
We are currently in the process of updating our guidance documents but please note that the downloadable guide on this page may still refer to the four year rule and is awaiting a new version.

The online application must be completed before any documents are sent into The Nautical Institute's offices.
