CDC CORRECTION PROCESS
Certificates are prone to mistakes either due to typographic errors or due to the name change of the seafarers in the passport. Your certificate, CDC should not contain any mistakes to work smoothly on a ship.
The correction of the seafarer’s details in the CDC can be corrected by the seafarer by, sending a request letter and the required fees receipt to the Shipping Master’s Office by Speed/Registered Post, from where the CDC was issued.
