Applying for a certificate of navigation time

Last update

This procedure is not applicable to people/craft navigating the waterways for sport or leisure – only to people and craft involved in professional inland navigation.

Anyone navigating the inland waterways must be able to provide proof – in the form of a specific certificate – of the number of navigation hours that they have accumulated, if they wish to:

  • obtain a promotion; or
  • satisfy the entry conditions for competitions, exams or promotions to obtain:
    • operational certificates (boatman, able boatman, helmsman) or command certificates (boatmaster);
    • certificates for specific authorisations for boatmasters (large convoys certificate, specific-risk waterways certificate, ‘LNG expert certificate’) and specific operations (carrying LNG and passengers).

Who is concerned

Any person navigating the inland waterways who wishes to obtain a certificate of professional qualification in inland waterway navigation as provided for by Directive (EU) 2017/2397.

Costs

The issuance of a certificate of navigation time is subject to a EUR 100 processing fee.
