What this is
The temporary seafarer's record book serves as a provisional authorization to embark, issued to seafarers pending the production or renewal of their permanent professional seafarer's record book. It certifies the seafarer's qualifications and fitness to perform a specific role on board a vessel for a limited, defined period. Issued by the competent maritime authorities (Ministry of Transport), this document ensures the continuity of maritime sector operations while guaranteeing the safety and compliance of active crews. Obtaining it requires the submission of a substantiated application, a copy of an identity document, a valid medical fitness certificate, and proof of professional qualifications or an employment contract justifying the temporary need.
