If You Are Thinking of Chartering in Europe You May Need an International Certificate of Competency (ICC)

International Yacht Training

International Yacht Training has announced an online e-learning course available for students to study and execute theory examinations before proceeding to an authorised IYT Training Provider to undertake the written and practical examinations. This course is now available through www.getanicc.com.

As you may be aware, it is now mandatory to hold a recognised International Certificate of Competency (ICC) if
you wish to charter a boat in certain European countries. It is generally required for the inland and coastal
waters of Mediterranean countries. In Northern Europe and Scandinavia the ICC is generally not required, but it
is strongly advised to check with any European or eastern bloc country that you wish to charter in before you
leave.

The ICC is a product of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Resolution 40. The ICC provides documentary assurance from one Government to another that the holder meets the levels of competence laid down in Resolution 40.

You can learn more about courses to get an ICC and about the countries that have adopted Resolution 40 and
officially accept the ICC as proof of boating competence within their territory by visiting: www.IYTworld.com

Story and photos by Jennifer M. Smith

We’d been north before on a short two-week cruise. At the time, we were unprepared for the isolation, the lack of cell phone coverage, and the spotty VHF reception. Since then we’ve repowered, installed Starlink, and retired from work. Now, with confidence in our engine and our connectivity and more time to sail, we were Superior-ready.
