Relative to Certificate of Competence for Class 3-1. the Authority may (a) apply restridtions or limitations regarding operating arcas to certificates held by individuals who. hccause of the nature of their maritime training, certification and experience, are considered unsuitahlc for regular ccrtification; and (h) issue endorsements to suitably qualified seafarers who hold Class 2 or 3 Certificates of Competence, thus allowing them to servc, sub,ject to certain restrictions, in stated capacities or levels on near coastal voyages. Such endorsenlents shall not apply to seagoing service on tankers nor passenger ships.

(2) The numbers of certificated otlicers and certificated and non-certificated ratings must be sufficient to ensure safe and efficient operation of the ship at all times. (3) All ships of 500 GT or more are required to hold a safe manning document and owners or operators of ships below 500 GT may Iiold such certificates. (4 ) The owner or operator of a Jamaican registered ship is required to make an assessment of the numbers and grades of personnel necessary for safe operation. These should be sufficient to ensure that ( a ) the required watchkeeping standard can be maintained and that personnel are able to obtain sufticient rest; (6) personnel are not required to work more liours than is safe in relation to the safety of the ship; (c) the master and seafarers can perform their duties in accordance with the framework of operational guidance in section A-VIII of the STCW Code; (d) the master and seamen are not required to work sucli hours or under such conditions which may be injurious to their health and safety. 2. Proposals based on the assessment should be submitted to the Directorwho, when satisfied that the proposed manning levels are adequate, will issue a safe manning document. Safe Manning 3. The responsibility to ensure that ships are safely, sufficiently and efficiently manned rests with the owners and managing operators. Guidance on determining appropriate manning levels is given in paragraph 12. 4. In order to avoid possible problems at a laterstage, owners and operators are recommended to consult with seafarers' representatives and the Director on their proposed manning when new ships are at the design stage and in advance of registering existing ships in Jamaica. 5. In the event of any disagreement between the owners and official seafarers' representatives regarding manning levels, the Director will consider any views put forward and may require a revision of the manning levels, if so justified. In such cases it may be necessary to arrange for some form of practical demonstration of the ability of the crew to carry out the essential tasks in the context ofthe principles ofsafc manning. Similarly, in the event of any change in the equipment, construction or use of the ship which may affect the safe manning level, the owner or operator should make an application for the issue of a new safe manning document. Specialist ship types 6. Offshore support vessels present special problems because of the diverse nature of their operations and the conditions under which they are required to opcrate. Owners are particularly Il'he inclusion of this paye is authorized hy L N. 102/2001] 9:2 THE SHIPPING (TRAINING, CERTIFICATION, SAFE MANNING, HOURS O F WORK AND WATCHKEEPING) REGULATIONS, 1998 SCHEDULE I I, contd. reminded ofthe restrictions placed,on working hours under the Regulations and should set manning levels accordingly. 7. Shipowners and operators shall ensure that the master, officers and ratings on tankers, and the master, officers, ratings and other personnel on ro-ro passenger ships have completed the training required by the Regulations which is specified in sections A-VII and A-V12 of the STCW Code. All crew members on high speed craft musl have completed the training required under the SOLAS Hieh Soeed Craft Code. and masters and officers having an ooerational role must hold a - . Type ~ a t i n i ~e'rtiticate as required by the SOLAS Code. On passenger ships generally, the need to handle large numbers of passengers unfamiliar with the marine environment must be taken into account in determining manning levels. Personnel should be appropriately trained and certificated and owners and operators must give particularly careful attention to the requirements for minimum numbers of trained crew to take charge of survival craft. Safe manning document 8. When the Director has agreed to proposals regarding manning of a particular ship, a safe manning document shall be issued for that ship in a format which complies with the requirements of SOLAS 1974, as amended. It should be retained on board and be available tbr inspection whenever required by an authorized person. Principles 9-(I) The Director will consider a ship to be safely manned if the crew includes sufficient officers and ratings with appropriate skills and experience to ensure that the following capabilities are available (these reflect principles in IMO Resolution A.481 (XII), which should be consulted when determining sate manning levelsj (a) maintain a safe bridge watch at sea in accordance with regulation VIIIl2 of STCW 95, which includes general surveillance of the vessel; ( b ) moor and unmoor a vessel effectively and safely; (c) operate and maintain effectively all watertight closing arrangements including the ability to mount an effective damage control party; < (4 operate and, when piakticable, maintain efficently, all fire equipment and life-saving appliances provided including the ability to muster and disembark passengers and non-essential personnel; (e) manage the safety functions of a vessel at sea, when not under way; (/) maintain a safe engineering watch at sea in accordance with regulation VIIIl2 of STCW 95, and also maintain general surveillance of spaces containing main propulsion and auxilliary machinery; (g) operate and maintain in a safe condition the main propulsion and auxiliary machinery to enable the ship to overcome the foreseeable perils of the voyage; (h) maintain the safety arrangements and the cleanliness of machinery spaces to minimize the risk of fire; (i) provide for medical care on board ship; (j) maintain a safe radio watch in accordance with 1974 SOLAS and ITU regulations, as amended; [The inclusion o f this page is authorized by L N 102/2001] Z'fE SICIPPING (TRAINING, CCERWICAnON, SAFE W N I h ' q , HOURS OF WORK AND 93 WAZHKEEPING) REGULA TTONS, I998 (k) maintain the precautions and safeguards necessary to protect the marine environment in accordance with MARPOL 73/78 as amended; (I) maintain sasety in all ship operations whilst in port Esrablishing sclfe manning requirements 10. The Authority requires all ships to be sufficiently and efficiently manned for their safe operation, having regard their safe &eration, to the n& of their work and their location. To ensure safe and efficient overation. a minimum level of manning should be determined. To make that assessment, owners and operators should take account of the following factors (0) the length and nature of voyage and trading area; (6) any special requirements of the trade involved; (c) number, size (LW) and type of main propulsion units and auxiliaries; (4 size of ship (GT); (e) construction and technical equipment of ship. 11 .--(I) In conjunction with these factors, the 1MO principles of safe manning and the need to ensure that personnel do not work more hours than is safe, the owner or operator should (a) identify all the functions to be undertaken on board during a representative voyage; (6) identify the skills and experience required to perform those functions; (c) identify those functions in normal operations which need to be undertaken concurrently; (4 determine the minimum numbers of personnel required to undertake concurrent operations safely; (e) establish working arrangements including--(in accordance with regulation 13 of Chapter V of the SOLAS Convention-e establishment of a working language on a passenger ship to ensure the master and crew are capable of undertaking concurrent and continuing operations with respect to their skills and baining; V) ensure that the working arrangements allow for sufficient rest periods to avoid fatigue and draw up work schedules accordingly. Guidance on approprial manning levels 1 2 4 1 ) The tables annexed hereto provife guidance on the numbers of certificated deck and engineer officers appropriate to different sizes of ships, tonnages and trading areas. As the watchkeeping arrangements for the engineering department and the demands placed on personnel vary significantly according to the level of automation, numbers are not given for engineer officers. These tables only provide guidance; owners and operators must take all relevant factors into account before finalizing their manning proposals. (2) The number of ratings required will be determined by the factors summarized at paragraphs 9 and 10 above. Owners and operators should additionally seek to obtain a good balance between skilled and less skilled and between experienced and less experienced ratings.

The Regulations require the master ofany ship to be responsible for the overall safety of the ship. He must also enqure that the watchkeeping arrangements an adequate for maintaining safe navigational watches at all times, including the provision of a lookout a required by the International Regulations for the Prevention of Collisions at Sea 1972, as amended. The chief engineer officer of any ship is required to ensure that the engineering watch arrangements for the ship are adequate at all times for maintaining a safe engineering watch. 14. The principles applying to the keeping of a safe watch are in section A-VIIIt2 of the STCW Code and must be followed in order to comply with the Regulations. Trans i t io~l Arrangements 15. During the transition period between 1st February. 1997 and 31st January, 2002 when both STCW 78 and STCW 95 certificates will be valid, owners may man ships with officers holding STCW 78 certificates in accordance with the endorsements thereon. Regulation 26(4) allows for the safe manning documents issued under the Marine Board Act and the Seafarers' Certification Act to remain in force until 3 1st January, 2002. If, however, there is any change in circumstances which is relevant to such a safe manning document, the shipowner or operator must inform the Director, providing all relevant information. The Director will then review the doaument's continuing validity or approve fresh proposals from the owner or operator. Working arrangements 6 Every operator of a ship and employer is obliged to ensure that the master, officen and ratings do not work more hours than is safe in relation to the performance of their duties and the safety of the vessel. The same responsibility is placed on the master in relation to the seafarers, Manning levels should be such as to ensure so far as possible that the time and place available for taking rest periods are appropriate for achieving a good quality of rest. Operators will also want to take into account section B-VIIIII of the STCW Code which ~mvides hrther guidance about fitness for duty. (2) Operators are required to ensure that a schedule of duties is produced setting out the houn of work and the rest periods. It should provide that the master, officers and all other seamen do not work more hours than is safe in relation to the safety of the ship. In devising the schedule, operators should take account of factors such as (a) trade and type of operation; (b ) type and size of ship; (c) construction and technical equipment of ship; (4 manning levels and changes in crew numbers due to crew changes and sickness; (e) maximum period of continuous watchkeeping; V) minimum rest periods; (g) total workload; (h) the seriousness of imgular working hours and their contribution to fatigue causation and the importance of scheduling reasonably stable watchkeeping hours over a voyage.

(3) Changes should not be made to the schedule unless they can be justified by substantially altered work patterns made necessary, for example, by a change in trading pattern or other significant factor. Where it is known that a vessel engages in an irregular trading pattern or that working hours are likely to he uniform this can be taken into account and recorded in the schedule. The consultation process referred to in paragraph 17 helow also applies to changes in the schedule. Consultation 17. Operators of ships are required to seek the views of the master when first drawing up a schedule of duties for a ship or ships. The master of a ship should seek the views of his officers and shall seek and convey to the operator the views of the seafarers or their representatives or a trade union as appropriate. The final decision on the schedule rests with the operator who will have the responsibility to ensure that the schedule is safe in relation to the safety of the ship and the performance of duties. The master must ensure that, as far as reasonably practicable, the schedule is adhered to. Of course, in an emergency or when unforeseeable events occur, changes may well be unavoidable. Regulation 30(9) requires that, once a schedule has been completed by the operator, it must be displayed prominently in thecrew accommodation on board the vessel for the information of all the seafarers. Records 18. A record of all deviations from the schedule's requirements is to he kept on the ship. Any suitable form of record is acceptable provided that the record is always accessible to tliose authorized to carry out inspections; the record must be retained for n period of up to five years. Thsre is no need to rewrite the schedule for each voyage so long as it is applicable to the voyage in question and the composition of the crew for whom it was originally intended has not changed. 19. The overriding aim is to ensure that a proper record of agreed work patterns exists on board for the benefit of crew members and inspecting authorities, and that the record may be matched to each individual crew member involved by means of other documents such as the crew list. Exceptions for emergencies 20. The regulations recognize that situations may arise in which a master or seaman may he required to exceed the schedule's duty periods. These include emergencies which threaten the safety of the ship or the environment or put life at risk. Where a master or other seaman exceeds the scheduled hours of work in this manner, and has worked during his rest period, his name must be entered in the record required to be maintained, together with the reason for the excess. Information to be provided 2 1 . 1 ) When applying to the Director for a safe manning document, owners or operators should submit a clear and concise explanation of how the proposed manning level has been determined and how i t takes account of the guidance in paragraphs 9 to 15 above and the hours of work provisions in the regulations. The Director will be able to make a quick assessment of the application if the owner or operator can demonstrate that all the factors and principles in those paragraphs have been taken into account. ( 2 ) Applications for a safe manning document should be made by the owner or a person authorized to act on his behalf, on a form which is obtainable from the Maritime Authority. The form sets out the information required by the Authority. A fee will be charged. [The lnclus~on of this psye is aulborizsd by L N 102t200l] 96 THE SHIPPING (TRAINING. CERTIFICATION.
