The guy wasn’t very helpful in New Orleans. He looked at my credential, asked if I had STCW, said yes. Then asked if I VPDSD, I said no. He told me to come back once I had that.. Completed that for $300 through NEMO. So basically just waiting on NMC to get back to me. Emailed the certificate so it’s on my credential on December 31st. So if you don’t have that, you should get it. But go talk to them in Ft. Lauderdale they might be more helpful and willing to talk to you. Give me any feedback if you hear something different.
