Every original exam for a U.S. Coast Guard endorsement including Apprentice Mate/Steersman and Able Seaman calls for knowledge of the Navigation Rules. In addition to the Navigation Rules, Books 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 will prepare you for Master, Mate, and Operator endorsements to 100 gross register tons (GRT). You will need to study subjects in Books 6 & 7 for larger tonnage endorsements up to 1,600 GRT (3,000 tons ITC). Towing vessel officer endorsement candidates need to begin their studies with the Navigation Rules and then move to the Towing Vessel Officer’s Guide and then on to additional exam subjects marked [T]. However, candidates for towing endorsements limited to the Western Rivers need not study chapters 15, 17, 27, 29, 30, 31, & 32. Individual chapters listed below can be purchased separately upon request.
