Training and Qualifications
Qualifications
6.1.
Implicit in the proposals in the Consultative
Document was that a prerequisite to future appointment
as an officer or a crew member on a ship registered in
Hong Kong would be the holding of a qualification of an
equivalent standard to that now required. We were
encouraged to find that this view was, in the main,
shared, though a number of suggestions were made to the
effect that various foreign certificates should also be
accepted as valid for the new register.
6.2.
The basic principles which we believe should
apply in respect of qualifications for work on a ship on
the new Hong Kong Register are:-
(a)
standards of competency should be no less
than those which obtain on the existing
register; and
(b)
certificates of competency should be
awarded following examination at the
appropriate level in Hong Kong; or
