Word of caution when checking on engineering certification on vessels from 200-500gt and engine size 3,000-6000kw.
Yachts in this category are over 3000kw, there is tendency to look at the requirements in column 4 of the manning table. This is not correct. For yachts in this category column 2 applies.
