Explanatory Note.

Table 1 constitutes the rules for examinations and grant of certificates of competency as masters and mates under the Merchant Shipping Ordia- ance, 1953, and it has already received the approval of the Governor in Council. It is lengthy however and not of general interest so that it will not be reproduced in the Gazette. These rules give this table formal approval (upon the new Ordinance being brought into force) and provide that copies may be obtained from the Director of Marine.
