(a) the vessel travels at a speed of less than 5 nautical miles per
hour only immediately before and after being stationary; or
(b) the Joint Authority gives the holder approval for the vessel to
be navigated in the management zone and the vessel is
navigated in accordance with any instructions given by the
Joint Authority.

monitoring system fitted to the vessel, identify the shortest
distance between the pair of points in a straight line; and
(b) divide the distance by the time taken by the vessel to travel
between the two points.
