APPENDIX B.

TABLE SHOWING THE REQUIREMENTS AS TO SERVICE NECESSARY TO QUALIFY FOR EXAMINATION FOR CERTIFICATES OF COMPETENCY.

NOTE.

It must be clearly understood that the amount of service laid down in the Rules for each grade of certificate of competency is the absolute minimum, and that, when the character of the workshop service is not up to the standard expected, or the sea service has been performed in the home or coasting trade additional service is required to give it equivalent value. The sea service mentioned in the table has reference only to that performed in foreign-going vessels.
