CHAPTER III.
RULES FOR ESTIMATING SEA SERVICE.
62. Sea Service. In these Rules sea service is reckoned from the commencement to the termination of the voyage. The certificates of discharge for service in the foreign trade will generally be accepted as proof of sea service, but certificates of discharge for service in the home or coasting trade must always be sent to the Registrar-General of Shipping and Seamen for verification. Superintendents and Examiners will be careful to see that these discharges have not been in any way tampered with, and will report any suspicious cases to the Registrar-General of Shipping and Seamen. Where service in charge of a watch is required, certificates of watch- keeping service must also be produced (see Appendix D).
For all certificates of competency as Master or Mate in the Mercantile Marine, the qualifying service usually required is service performed in ordinary trading vessels. While the Regulations provide for the acceptance in part of certain kinds of non-trading service (e.g., that performed in fishing-boats, yachts, pilot vessels, &c.), non-trading service not specially provided for in the Regulations cannot be accepted as qualify- ing service unless it has been submitted to the Board of Trade and their sanction obtained.
63. Sea service for foreign-going certificates. For foreign-going certificates the term “sea service" means, unless otherwise stated, service performed in foreign-going vessels.
