In the event there is a limitation re- striction or waiver granted to the mariner a time restricted medical certificate may be issued. See below for more details. Mariners who sail under the authority of an STCW endorse- ment The expiration date ap- plicable to a mariner serving onboard vessels to which STCW applies will be for up to 2 years past the date of examination unless the mariner is under the age of 18 in which case the maximum period of validity will be 1 year. Mariners who sail as a pilot The expiration date applicable to a mariner serving under the authority of an endorsement as First-Class Pilot or acting as a pilot under another endorsement will be a maximum period of 2 years.
