REGULATIONS RELATING TO THE EXAMINATION OF ENGINEERS IN THE MERCANTILE MARINE.

PRELIMINARY.

Engineers must have certificates.—“Shipping and Seamen’s Act Amendment Act, 1896,” section 7.

UNDER the provisions of “The Shipping and Seamen’s Act Amendment Act, 1896,” every intercolonial steamship or sea-going home-trade steamship* is required to have engineers according to the following scale :—

Indicated Horse-power.	Number and Grade of Engineers.
Not more than 150	One, holding a certificate of competency or service of the second class or higher.
More than 150 and not more than 300—
(a.) If running less than 300 miles between terminal ports	One, holding a certificate of competency or service of the second class or higher.
(b.) In all other cases	Two, to wit,— A chief engineer, holding a certificate of competency or service of the second class or higher; and A second engineer, holding a certificate of competency of the third class, or service of the second class or higher.
More than 300 and not more than 1,250—
(a.) If running less than 300 miles between terminal ports	Two, to wit,— A chief engineer, holding a certificate of competency or service of the first class. A second engineer, holding a certificate of competency or service of the second class or higher.
(b.) In all other cases	Three, to wit,— A chief engineer, holding a certificate of competency or service of the first class. A second engineer, holding a certificate of competency or service of the second class or higher. A third engineer, holding a certificate of competency of the third class, or service of the second class or higher.
For every additional 1,250 or part of 1,250 if engaged in the foreign or intercolonial trade, and for every 1,250 or part of 1,250 over and above 2,500 if engaged in the sea-going home trade only	One additional engineer.

Indicated horse-power shall be assessed on the average horse-power indicated during the previous six months, as shown by the engineer’s log-book.

For the purposes of this schedule, the expression “terminal port” means the port from which the steamship first takes her departure, and the last port at which she calls before commencing her return voyage.

Every foreign-going steamship trading beyond intercolonial limits of 100 nominal horse-power or upwards must have first- and second-class engineers, and every such steamship less than 100 nominal horse-power must have one engineer with a second-class certificate, or one of a higher grade.

Penalty on engineers serving without certificate, and owners employing engineers without certificate. S. 28.

Every person who is not possessed of a valid certificate appropriate to his grade who suffers him-

*By a “home-trade ship” is meant one which is employed in trading on the coasts of New Zealand, but not to or from the Chatham Islands, the Auckland Islands, or Campbell Island.
