         CHAPTER I--COAST GUARD, DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
 
PART 12_CERTIFICATION OF SEAMEN--Table of Contents
 
         Subpart 12.15_Qualified Member of the Engine Department
 
Sec. 12.15-11  General provisions respecting merchant mariner's
documents endorsed as qualified member of the engine department.

    The holder of a merchant mariner's document endorsed with one or 
more qualified member of the engine department ratings may serve in any 
unqualified rating in the engine department without obtaining an 
additional endorsement. This does not mean that an endorsement of one 
qualified member of the engine department rating authorizes the holder 
to serve in all qualified member of the engine department ratings. Each 
qualified member of the engine department rating for which a holder of a 
merchant mariner's document is qualified must be endorsed separately. 
When, however, the applicant qualifies for all ratings covered by a 
certificate as a qualified member of the engine department, the 
certification may read QMED--any rating. The ratings are as follows:

    (a) Refrigerating engineer.
    (b) Oiler.
    (c) Deck engineer.
    (d) Fireman/Watertender.
    (e) Junior engineer.
    (f) Electrician.
    (g) Machinist.
    (h) Pumpman.
    (i) Deck engine mechanic.
    (j) Engineman.
