20 Certificate of safety training
20.1 A person who does not hold a certificate of competency, a certificate of recognition, a certificate of proficiency (integrated rating) or a certificate of rating is only qualified to be engaged in a capacity on board ship as part of the ship’s complement with designated safety or pollution prevention duties if that person holds a certificate of safety training.
20.2 A person is eligible to be issued with a certificate of safety training if that person:
(a) is 16 years of age or more; and
(b) has satisfactorily completed an approved training course that complies with the training and assessment standards specified in paragraph 2 of section A-VI/1 of the STCW Code.
20.3 If the Manager is satisfied that circumstances are such that it would be unreasonable or impracticable to require a person to comply fully with 20.2(b), that person may be issued with a certificate of safety training for such voyages and subject to such conditions as the Manager determines.
