Rules for Examinations of Masters and Mates.

Marine Department,
Wellington, 29th September, 1927.

IN pursuance and exercise of the powers vested in me by section 23 of the Shipping and Seamen Act, 1908, I do hereby make the following rules for the conduct of examinations of masters and mates, and as to the qualifications of applicants; and I do direct that the fees specified therein shall be paid to the Superintendents of Mercantile Marine at the ports where the applications to be examined are made. These rules (except where provision to the contrary is specifically made) shall come into force on the 1st day of November, 1927, and shall then supersede any rules or regulations heretofore existing and affecting such examinations, qualifications, and fees.

G. JAS. ANDERSON, Minister of Marine.

PRELIMINARY AND GENERAL.

Masters and Mates must have Certificates.—In accordance with the provisions of section 21 of the Shipping and Seamen Act, 1908, every British ship when going to sea or plying from any place in New Zealand, and every foreign ship when plying as a home-trade ship,* shall be provided with deck officers duly certificated under this Act according to the following scale :—

a. In any case, with a duly certificated master.

b. If the ship is a home-trade sailing-ship of 100 tons register or upwards, or a home-trade steamship of 60 tons register

*By a “home-trade ship” is meant one which is employed in trading or going between any ports or places in New Zealand, or plying on any navigable waters in New Zealand, or going to sea from any port or place in New Zealand, and returning to New Zealand without going more than 50 miles from the coast thereof, but not to or from the Cook Islands, Kermadec Islands, the Chatham Islands, the Auckland Islands, Campbell Island, Antipodes Island, or Bounty Island. By a “foreign-going ship” is meant every ship not included in the term “home-trade ship.”

As the Gazette has been published for more than 185 years, copyright status depends on the publication date of each issue:

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ... NZGOAL is the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence ... [t]o the greatest extent possible, agencies should apply this licence to copyright material on their websites"
