Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This regulation removes old staffing rules for Australian ships.

Before this law, the Navigation (Complement of Officers) Regulations 1964 required ships to carry a minimum number of qualified officers (such as captains, mates, and engineers). This instrument repeals (cancels) those 1964 rules entirely.

What this means:

Ship owners and operators are no longer bound by the specific officer numbers required under the 1964 regulations
The repeal does not introduce new rules to replace them—it simply removes the old requirements
This affects anyone operating ships that were previously subject to the 1964 staffing mandates
