⚓ TWIC vs. MMC: What's the Difference?

One of the most common questions we hear from aspiring mariners is:

"Do I need a TWIC card or an MMC?"

The answer? In most cases, you'll need both—but they serve very different purposes.

A TWIC card is a security credential that allows access to secure maritime facilities, while an MMC is the professional credential that authorizes employment aboard commercial vessels.

In our latest blog, we explain:
✔ The difference between a TWIC card and an MMC
✔ Which credential you should obtain first
✔ The basic steps to becoming a merchant mariner
