The Secretary can measure a mariner's sea service using convention tonnage rules. This lets the Secretary issue a license, certificate, or document based on that service.

Even though sections 14302(c) and 14305 normally apply, the Secretary may: (1) judge an applicant's sea service for a license, certificate of registry, or merchant mariner's document by using the tonnage measured under chapter 143 for the vessels where that service happened, and (2) issue the license, certificate, or document based on that service.

issue the license, certificate, or document based on that service.
