AMENDMENT OF Navigation (Examination of Masters and Mates) Regulations.

(Statutory Rules 1924, No. 205, as amended to this date.)

1. Regulation 18 of the Navigation (Examination of Masters and Mates) Regulations is repealed and the following regulation inserted in its stead:—

Re-examination.

“18.—(1.) A candidate for any grade of certificate will proceed to the oral examination, irrespective of whether he has passed or failed in his written work.

(2.) Where a candidate passes in the written portion of the examination and fails in the oral, or vice versa, his pass in that portion in which he has satisfied the Examiner shall hold good for a period of six months from the date of the examination, and, provided he has performed any additional sea service considered necessary by the Examiner consequent on failure at the first examination, he may present himself for re-examination at any time within that period. If the candidate does not pass the remainder of the examination within that period it will be necessary for him, in order to obtain a pass, to be re-examined in both the written and the oral portions:

Provided that in exceptional circumstances the Director of Navigation may extend the period up to not more than twelve months from the date of the examination.

(3.) In the case of a second or any subsequent failure in the written or oral portion of the examination, or in both, an interval of not less than two months must elapse from the date of the last failure before a candidate can be re-examined. The interval shall not be required to exceed two months except in those cases where the Examiner considers further sea service necessary, when the time may be increased to not more than six months in all.

2. Regulations 20 and 21 of the Navigation (Examination of Masters and Mates) Regulations are repealed.

3. Schedule I to the Navigation (Examination of Masters and Mates) Regulations is amended by inserting, at the end of the Table headed. “Fees for other Certificates and for Examination in Single Subjects”, the words:—

“Where a candidate for a Certificate of Competency is re-examined in the written or in the oral part of the examination only.......................................................................................... . Half usual fee.”
