Additional Regulation for Examination of Masters and Mates.

Marine Department,
Wellington, 29th November, 1901.

IN pursuance and exercise of the power vested in me by the 24th and 25th sections of “The Shipping and Seamen’s Act, 1877,” I do hereby revoke clauses vi., vii., and xi. of section 11 of the Regulations for the Examination of Masters and Mates which were made on the 2nd day of April, 1898, and published in the New Zealand Gazette of the 7th day of the same month, and I do hereby make the following additional regulation in lieu thereof.

WM. HALL-JONES,
Minister having Charge of the Marine Department.

REGULATION.

WHENEVER the holder of a certificate of competency fails to pass any of the three sight-tests, there is reason to believe that he is from incompetency unfit to discharge his duties, and in the public interest the Minister having charge of the Marine Department may cause an investigation to be instituted before a Court having jurisdiction to cancel or suspend such certificate; but, in the alternative, the Minister may accept the voluntary surrender of the certificate until such time as the applicant succeeds in passing the test in which he failed.
