s4 5 s6 Transport Operations (Marine Safety—Crewing for Commercial and Fishing Ships) Interim Standard 1998 ˙ Who standard applies to 4. This standard applies to the owner and master of a commercial or fishing ship. ˙ Purpose of standard 5. The purpose of this standard is to provide a guide on the appropriate crewing of a commercial or fishing ship to enable the ship to meet the ordinary perils of the voyage on which the ship is proceeding, or about to proceed, to satisfy the general safety obligation under part 4 4 of the Act. † PART 2—COMMERCIAL SHIPS ˙ Minimum crew (other than engineers) 6.(1) A commercial ship with a length stated in schedule 1, column 1 and operating in an area stated in column 2 should be operated by the master and the minimum crew (other than engineers) stated in column 3. (2) As well as the crew mentioned in schedule 1, column 3, a class 1 passenger ship should have the number of extra personnel for each 50 passengers, or part of 50 passengers, stated in schedule 1, column 4 who are suitably trained in evacuation and emergency procedures. (3) However if, after having divided the total number of passengers by 50, there are 5 or fewer passengers remaining, no extra personnel are required for those remaining passengers. Example— A ship is carrying 105 passengers. Two extra personnel are required. A ship is carrying 106 passengers. Three extra personnel are required. 4 Part 4 (General safety obligations and standards) of the Act

s7 6 s7 Transport Operations (Marine Safety—Crewing for Commercial and Fishing Ships) Interim Standard 1998 (4) A class 1 passenger ship may have fewer extra personnel than is required by subsection (2) if— (a) the ship has— (i) a documented safety management system based on the objectives of the International Safety Management Code published by the International Maritime Organization or another similar code; and (ii) a documented safety risk management assessment of the emergency evacuation of the ship; and (b) the assessment provides for the ship to have a fewer number of extra personnel than is required under subsection (2); and (c) the ship is operating with the number of extra personnel (if any) specified in the assessment. ˙ Minimum crew (engineers) 7.(1) A commercial ship with a propulsion power stated in schedule 2, column 1 and operating in an area stated in column 2 should be operated with the minimum engineering crew stated in column 3. (2) A commercial ship with a propulsion power stated in schedule 3, column 1 operating in an area stated in column 2, need not have the engineering crew required under subsection (1) if the master or a crew member of the ship has a marine engine drivers licence of at least the grade stated in column 3. (3) The master may act as chief engineer on a commercial ship on which the master is required to hold a coxswain’s licence.
