Se reduce perioada de serviciu pe mare a navigatorilor români de la 24 la 12 luni

Radu Miruță, the interim Minister of Transport, announced a reduction in the required sea service period for certain officer patents from 24 to 12 months for Romanian navigators. This decision follows feedback from an officer highlighting the stricter conditions faced by Romanian sailors compared to international standards. The new ministerial order aims to align with STCW standards and improve competitiveness without lowering competency requirements. The order has been finalized and is now in the decision-making transparency phase.
