Re: VK Maritime Mobile

Just do it, however you are generally required to have the permission of the Master. Also if you enter foreign waters/ports you need to operate as per what ever recipricol licence conditions apply.

Simple solution.
Organise your own expeditions. I've done a few. Loads of fun and activity breeds more activity.
