165
Council on the 13th day of November, 1913, and published in the Gazette of the 21st November, 1913, is hereby repealed, and the following substituted therefor:
"111.-(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 the 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 on shore 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 are 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."
