EXAMINATION OF MASTERS AND MATES.
INSTRUCTIONS TO EXAMINERS AND NOTICE TO CANDIDATES.
Temporary Certificates as Second Mate.
THE Board of Trade have decided to issue, during the war, temporary Certificates of Competency as Second Mate to candidates who have served three years at sea, and who pass the Examination for a Second Mate's Certificate. The Certificates issued will be marked "temporary and will be valid only until three months after the termination of hostilities.
多多
All the provisions of the Regulations for the examination of Masters and Mates which apply to the examination for a Second Mate's Certificate, other than the require- ment as to four years' service at sea, will apply equally to the examination for a tempo- rary Second Mate's Certificate. Two years on a training ship followed by two years' service at sea will, therefore, qualify a candidate for examination for a temporary Second Mate's Certificate.
On the completion of the service at sea required by the existing Regulations the holder of a temporary Second Mate's Certificate can exchange this Certificate for a full Second Mate's Certificate.
