100 Ton Masters Upgrade |
|
The 24-hour Masters 100 Ton Upgrade provides an opportunity to holders of a OUPV to raise their grade to a Master level license. The Masters License allows you to operate inspected vessels and uninspected vessels and is required by the USCG for any inspected vessel certified to carry more than six passengers for hire. The Masters Licenses is for vessels with a gross tonnage upto 100 tons. They are issues depending on the tonnage of the vessel you gained your sea service on. These include 25 ton, 50 ton and 100 ton. The license are also issues for either inland waters, Great Lakes or near coastal. Again this is dependent on your sea service records. As this is an upgrade, you need to have a vaid OUPV license. Many mariners will take the OUPV first then upgrade within a year to the Masters. There are two exams. If you have not taken a Rules of the Road exam within the last year, you will need to retake that at the end of the class with the other exams. The USCG website provides the detailed requirements for each license. Here are the minimum items for OUPV:
