Dear Rhobiel,

Good afternoon. Let me explain a little. Company`s representative can submit an application for a endorsement. Estonian personal identification code is required if a shipping company applies for special tax regime (https://www.transpordiamet.ee/en/maritime-and-waterways/bringing-ships-under-estonian-flag/shipping-state-aid#application-by-emplo).  Original seafarer's seagoing documents are issued either to the seafarer himself or to an authorized person (for example: if the documents are collected by a DHL courier), copies of the seagoing documents can also be sent to the company's office.

Best regards,
Raul Tell
Head of Seafarer’s Certification Department

Dear Raul,

Good day!

Our stakeholders require clarification of the following information. Could you please review below and let us know your thoughts/advice?

***Quote

Kindly reconfirm if company representative can apply for the Endorsement of seafarers (as done for all other Flags), if providing all the necessary documentation. Estonian personal code and entry to the Estonian Seafarers Register can be provided to the seafarer directly if he should be the only one to have the access.

Please also clarify regarding below. Original endorsements to be delivered to OSMT offices, as it is not possible for someone to collect physically.
8. A Letter of Authorization to the person collecting the endorsement from the Estonian Transport Administration.

***Unquote

Best Regards,
Biel

You don't often get email from [email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]>. Learn why this is important<https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification>
Dear Rhobiel,

Good morning. The right of access arises for the seafarer personally, after he is registered in the Estonian Seafarers' Register, for which the seafarer shall submit an application by e-mail to the following address: [email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]>. The e-mail will be forwarded automatically to the certification department and the seafarer will be contacted. The crewing company will only receive the authenticity and validity of the seagoing documents if the seafarer does not give the company access to his data.

Dear Raul,

Good day!

Allow me to intervene. As per checking the provided link, it says that we must obtain access to your system for us to lodge our application however, there is no tab on the website where we could file the request.

Would you mind helping us with this? Looking forward to your expert perspective.

Best Regards,
Biel
