A friend of ours was refused renewal of his Turkish transit log without proof of qualification, despite having kept his boat there for nearly 20 years. The boat was UK flagged. They asked for an ICC but settled for a Day Skipper certificate, which he forged. It's entirely possible that he had upset the official though, as his preferred method of shouting in English was not as effective as he liked to think.

Turkey isn't a signatory of resolution 40 so an ICC is the same as a note from your mum.

Does not matter whether it is a signatory or not. Neither Greece nor Croatia are signatories but both have the ICC on their list of acceptable "Qualifications!. Doubt there is even a list in Turkey nor a requirement to have a qualification - more likely the official making up his own rules.

Most people who didn't have them in Turkey were headed to Greek waters for the following season, not nessasery, but smooths the way, for the record we had no need for forged paper work as we had our ticket.

That's my point ...the officials want a piece of paper...if they accept a note from mum ok.......
I got stopped here in Spain by police, would you believe because I had a seat on my lectric scooter? he hadn't seen one before, so decided it was illegal...wanted my driving licence and wanted to confiscate my scooter....
If they want an icc it's better you have one than try and convince them they don't know the law.
However I believe to sail in Spanish waters they are required (I believe the port police that advised me.

Is that what you are basing your advice on? Or do you have an official document to say icc is not necessary if you own the boat?

As I see it, you can take a simple test and get an ICC. jobs a goodun.
Or you can not bother, always be worried about not having one plus get all argumentative with some official who really doesn't give a rats what you think.
Guess what I did?
