FAROESE RECOGNITION OF FOREIGN CERTIFICATES
In order to serve on a Faroese flagged vessel, foreign officers and cooks will have to apply for a Certificate of Recognition. The Faroese shipping company or agent will apply on behalf of the seafarer.
A course in Faroese maritime law is required in order to get a certificate of recognition. In some cases, an operational interview is necessary. The course is available here:
