Circular

  1 The Sub-Committee on Standards of Training and Watchkeeping, at its thirty-sixth session (10 to 14 January 2005), recalled that Interim Guidelines for Wing-In-Ground (WIG) craft had been issued through MSC/Circ.1054 and that amendments to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972, as amended, had been adopted through resolution A.910(22) to reflect the operational aspects of Wing-In-Ground (WIG) craft.

  2 The Sub-Committee on Standards of Training and Watchkeeping, at its thirty-sixth session (10 to 14 January 2005) noting that these documents were intended for craft primarily engaged in maritime operations and did not contain the knowledge, skills and training required for officers manning such craft, developed General principles and recommendations for knowledge skills and training for officers on Wing-In-Ground (WIG) craft to primarily assist Member governments in developing their national requirements for qualification and certification of officers on a WIG craft operating in both displacement and ground-effect modes.

  3 The Maritime Safety Committee at its eightieth session (11 to 20 May 2005), having considered the recommendations made by the Sub-Committee on Standards of Training and Watchkeeping at its thirty-sixth session, endorsed the General principles and recommendations for knowledge, skills and training requirements for officers on Wing-In-Ground (WIG) craft, as set out in the annex.

  4 Member Governments are invited to bring this circular to the attention of all concerned.
