How to submit sailing time to Kiwa for renewal of captain’s CoC

Until now captains only needed to sign their own sailing time in the Dutch Seaman’s book. Since Kiwa discovered that this is not always done right, an additional check has been added. Kiwa now requests extra confirmation of the stated sailing time by the shipowner the captain has been sailing for or by the captain’s accountant. If you like to receive an example document of how to add this extra confirmation, please contact us at info@roodbovengroen.com.
