Amending Rules for Examination of Masters and Mates.

Marine Department,
Wellington, 27th March, 1915.

WHEREAS by Warrant dated the 29th day of July, 1910, and published in the New Zealand Gazette No. 74, of the 2nd day of the following month, rules were made governing the examination of candidates for certificates of competency as masters and mates:

And whereas it is desired to amend the said regulations in the manner hereinafter described:

Now, therefore, in pursuance and exercise of the power and authority conferred upon me by section 23 of the Shipping and Seamen Act, 1908, and of all other powers and authorities enabling me in that behalf, I do hereby make the following regulation amending the hereinbefore-recited regulations; and I do hereby order that it shall come into force on the 1st April, 1915.

W. H. HERRIES,
Minister of Marine.

REGULATION.

REGULATION 141 is hereby revoked, and the following regulation made in lieu thereof:—

141. (1.) Time served on board a training-ship will be allowed to count as equivalent to one-half the same time spent in service at sea, up to a limit of two years (i.e., no length of service will be allowed to count as more than one year at sea); provided that the candidate can produce a certificate from the Committee or Captain Superintendent that he has conducted himself creditably and passed a good examination in seamanship, so far as it is practised in the training-ship, as well as in other matters, down to the time of his leaving the ship. Training-ship service will not be regarded as equivalent to service in square-rigged vessels.

(2.) Time spent at a school for nautical training conducted on premises ashore may be allowed to count in some proportion, not exceeding one-half, as service at sea, provided that—

(a.) The school is in receipt of a grant from the Board of Education under the Regulations for Schools of Nautical Training;

(b.) After an inspection by one of their officers, the Board of Trade is satisfied that the school gives a training that justifies time spent there being reckoned as part of the necessary qualifying time for a certificate of competency;

(c.) The candidate produces a satisfactory certificate as regards conduct and proficiency from the authorities of the school on leaving it.

The proportion in which time spent at a school conducted on premises ashore will be accepted as qualifying under the above provisions will be decided after inspection by one of the Board’s officers, but time spent at the school will never be counted as equivalent to more than one-half of the same time spent at sea, nor will it in any circumstances be taken as equivalent to more than one year at sea.
