At the recent Mariner Recruitment & Retention (MRR) conference, there was concern about personal liability created by 'signing off' a training record for STCW purposes.

So, here's the question: What is your understanding of this issue, i.e., what is the legal liability or potential liability for an officer who signs off a mariner later involved in an accident?
