Master 100 tons
A USCG license as Master 100 ton issues the full authority of the OUPV
license plus the additional authority to operate any inspected vessel within
the tonnage limitations of the license. These licenses are issued as Master
25 ton, Master 50 ton or Master 100 ton, depending on the size of
vessels the qualifying sea service experience was on.
If all your qualifying experience was on vessels of less than 5 gross tons
you will receive a Master 25 ton license. If you have any sea service
experience on vessels over 5 gross tons you will receive a Master 50 ton
license. Licenses from 50 to 100 tons are issued in 50 ton increments,
rounded up, based on the following formula:
Either the maximum tonnage that 25% of the qualifying experience
was on OR 150% of the maximum tonnage that 50% of the
qualifying experience was on.
An original issue of a USCG license as Master 100 tons or less will be
issued with one of the following routes:
This includes all inland waters of the US and all ocean waters within
200 miles of the coast.
To qualify for a near coastal route you must document 720 days of
sea service experience; 360 of these days may be on inland waters
or the Great Lakes.
This includes all inland waters of the US.
To qualify for an inland route you must document 360 days of sea
