From the horses mouth, as it were ...

"All applicants holding USCG 500gt and 3000gt (International tonnage) Certificates of Competency will be required to pass an MCA oral examination of competency. For further details see annex 8 of MGN 221 Part 19. This is in addition to the UKLAP 1 for Masters."
I meant CEC, sorry! So the question is, with a USCG 500 ton license, and a CEC, what can I drive?
