A Dutch Seaman Book, officially known as a āSeafarerās Discharge Bookā (in Dutch: Zeemansboekje), is a document issued by the Dutch maritime authorities to seafarers working on Dutch-flagged vessels. It serves as a record of a seafarerās employment history, qualifications, andĀ serviceĀ atĀ sea.
If your Dutch Seaman Book is lost, stolen, or damaged, you can get a duplicate to keep your maritime career on track without delay.
The Dutch Seaman Book is vital for seafarers on Dutch-flagged vessels, serving as proof of employment, recording sea service, and ensuring compliance with Dutch and international maritime laws.
Renew your Dutch Seaman Book when it expires or all pages are filled to keep your qualifications and employment records up-to-date.
Renewing the Dutch Seaman Book is essential to maintain your legal eligibility to work aboard Dutch-flagged vessels. It also ensures that your sea service is continually recorded, which is necessary for career advancement and certifications.
Seafarers with a foreign Certificate of Competence (CoC) must obtain recognition to work on Dutch-registered ships, ensuring compliance with Dutch and international regulations.
This endorsement allows foreign-certified officers and engineers to legally serve on Dutch-flagged vessels. It validates that your skills, experience, and qualifications are recognized under the Dutch maritime system, ensuring you can operate in compliance with both Dutch and international laws.
