Radar Licence (Special Authorisation for Radar) – Compact Course

Aim

As a holder of the special authorization for radar (formerly radar license), you can enhance your role as a vessel operator by conducting qualified and authorized radar-assisted voyages. This contributes to the economic success of your company by helping you meet loading and unloading deadlines, ensuring you remain a reliable partner for the dispatcher.

Description

Anyone wishing to navigate using radar must hold a certificate of qualification for the route to be travelled and a special authorisation for radar (formerly radar licence) or hold another radar certificate recognised by the CCNR. If the operator lacks this basic qualification, he is not permitted to continue the journey in conditions of poor visibility. This may result in loading or unloading deadlines not being met.
