Regulation I/3
Principles governing near-coastal voyages
1 Any Party defining near-coastal voyages for the purpose of the Convention shall not impose training, experience or certification requirements on the seafarers serving on board the ships entitled to fly the flag of another Party and engaged on such voyages in a manner resulting in more stringent requirements for such seafarers than for seafarers serving on board ships entitled to fly its own flag. In no case shall any such Party impose requirements in respect of seafarers serving on board ships entitled to fly the flag of another Party in excess of those of the Convention in respect of ships not engaged on near-coastal voyages.
2 A Party that, for ships afforded the benefits of the near-coastal voyage provisions of the Convention, which includes voyages off the coast of other Parties within the limits of their near-coastal definition, shall enter into an undertaking with the Parties concerned specifying the details of both involved trading areas and other relevant conditions.
3 With respect to ships entitled to fly the flag of a Party regularly engaged on near-coastal voyages off the coast of another Party, the Party whose flag the ship is entitled to fly shall prescribe training, experience and certification requirements for seafarers serving on such ships at least equal to those of the Party off whose coast the ship is engaged, provided that they do not exceed the requirements of the Convention in respect of ships not engaged on near-coastal voyages. Seafarers serving on a ship which extends its voyage beyond what is defined as a near-coastal voyage by a Party and enters waters not covered by that definition shall fulfil the appropriate competency requirements of the Convention.
4 A Party may afford a ship which is entitled to fly its flag the benefits of the near-coastal voyage provisions of the Convention when it is regularly engaged off the coast of a non-Party on near-coastal voyages as defined by the Party.
5 The certificates of seafarers issued by a Party for its defined near-coastal voyages limits may be accepted by other Parties for service in their defined near-coastal voyages limits, provided the Parties concerned enter into an undertaking specifying the details of involved trading areas and other relevant conditions thereof.
6 Parties defining near-coastal voyages, in accordance with the requirements of this regulation, shall:
.1 meet the principles governing near-coastal voyages specified in section A-I/3;
.2 communicate to the Secretary-General, in conformity with the requirements of regulation I/7, the details of the provisions adopted; and
.3 incorporate the near-coastal voyages limits in the endorsements issued pursuant to regulation I/2, paragraphs 5, 6 or 7.
7 Nothing in this regulation shall, in any way, limit the jurisdiction of any State, whether or not a Party to the Convention.
Regulation I/4
Control procedures
1 Control exercised by a duly authorized control officer under article X shall be limited to the following:
.1 verification in accordance with article X(1) that all seafarers serving on board who are required to be certificated in accordance with the Convention hold an appropriate certificate or a valid dispensation, or provide documentary proof that an application for an endorsement has been submitted to the Administration in accordance with regulation I/10, paragraph 5;
.2 verification that the numbers and certificates of the seafarers serving on board are in conformity with the applicable safe manning requirements of the Administration; and
.3 assessment, in accordance with section A-I/4 of the STCW Code, of the ability of the seafarers of the ship to maintain watchkeeping and security standards, as appropriate, as required by the Convention if there are clear grounds for believing that such standards are not being maintained because any of the following have occurred:
.3.1 the ship has been involved in a collision, grounding or stranding, or
.3.2 there has been a discharge of substances from the ship when under way, at anchor or at berth which is illegal under any international convention, or
.3.3 the ship has been manoeuvred in an erratic or unsafe manner whereby routeing measures adopted by the Organization or safe navigation practices and procedures have not been followed, or
.3.4 the ship is otherwise being operated in such a manner as to pose a danger to persons, property, the environment, or a compromise to security.
2 Deficiencies which may be deemed to pose a danger to persons, property or the environment include the following:
.1 failure of seafarers to hold a certificate, to have an appropriate certificate, to have a valid dispensation or to provide documentary proof that an application for an endorsement has been submitted to the Administration in accordance with regulation I/10, paragraph 5;
.2 failure to comply with the applicable safe manning requirements of the Administration;
.3 failure of navigational or engineering watch arrangements to conform to the requirements specified for the ship by the Administration;
.4 absence in a watch of a person qualified to operate equipment essential to safe navigation, safety radiocommunications or the prevention of marine pollution; and
.5 inability to provide, for the first watch at the commencement of a voyage and for subsequent relieving watches, persons who are sufficiently rested and otherwise fit for duty.
3 Failure to correct any of the deficiencies referred to in paragraph 2, in so far as it has been determined by the Party carrying out the control that they pose a danger to persons, property or the environment, shall be the only grounds under article X on which a Party may detain a ship.
Regulation I/5
National provisions
1 Each Party shall establish processes and procedures for the impartial investigation of any reported incompetency, act, omission or compromise to security that may pose a direct threat to safety of life or property at sea or to the marine environment by the holders of certificates or endorsements issued by that Party in connection with their performance of duties related to their certificates and for the withdrawal, suspension and cancellation of such certificates for such cause and for the prevention of fraud.
2 Each Party shall take and enforce appropriate measures to prevent fraud and other unlawful practices involving certificates and endorsements issued.

The minimum duration of seagoing service shall be equivalent to the duration of seagoing service prescribed in chapters II and III of this annex. However, the minimum duration of seagoing service shall be not less than as prescribed in section A-VII/2 of the STCW Code;
.4 the candidates for certification who are to perform the function of navigation at the operational level shall meet the applicable requirements of the regulations in chapter IV, as appropriate, for performing designated radio duties in accordance with the Radio Regulations; and
.5 the certificates are issued in accordance with the requirements of regulation I/2 and the provisions set forth in chapter VII of the STCW Code.
2 No certificate shall be issued under this chapter unless the Party has communicated information to the Organization in accordance with article IV and regulation I/7.
Regulation VII/2
Certification of seafarers
1 Every seafarer who performs any function or group of functions specified in tables A-II/1, A-II/2, A-II/3, A-II/4 or A-II/5 of chapter II or in tables A-III/1, A-III/2, A-III/3, A-III/4 or A-III/5 of chapter III or A-IV/2 of chapter IV of the STCW Code shall hold a certificate of competency or certificate of proficiency, as applicable.
Regulation VII/3
Principles governing the issue of alternative certificates
1 Any Party which elects to issue or authorize the issue of alternative certificates shall ensure that the following principles are observed:
.1 no alternative certification system shall be implemented unless it ensures a degree of safety at sea and has a preventive effect as regards pollution at least equivalent to that provided by the other chapters; and
.2 any arrangement for alternative certification issued under this chapter shall provide for the interchangeability of certificates with those issued under the other chapters.
2 The principle of interchangeability in paragraph 1 shall ensure that:
.1 seafarers certificated under the arrangements of chapters II and/or III and those certificated under chapter VII are able to serve on ships which have either traditional or other forms of shipboard organization; and
.2 seafarers are not trained for specific shipboard arrangements in such a way as would impair their ability to take their skills elsewhere.
3 In issuing any certificate under the provisions of this chapter, the following principles shall be taken into account:
.1 the issue of alternative certificates shall not be used in itself:
.1.1 to reduce the number of crew on board,
.1.2 to lower the integrity of the profession or “de-skill” seafarers, or
.1.3 to justify the assignment of the combined duties of the engine and deck watchkeeping officers to a single certificate holder during any particular watch; and
.2 the person in command shall be designated as the master; and the legal position and authority of the master and others shall not be adversely affected by the implementation of any arrangement for alternative certification.
4 The principles contained in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this regulation shall ensure that the competency of both deck and engineer officers is maintained.

Regulation VIII/1
Fitness for duty
1 Each Administration shall, for the purpose of preventing fatigue:
.1 establish and enforce rest periods for watchkeeping personnel and those whose duties involve designated safety, security and prevention of pollution duties in accordance with the provisions of section A-VIII/1 of the STCW Code; and
.2 require that watch systems are so arranged that the efficiency of all watchkeeping personnel is not impaired by fatigue and that duties are so organized that the first watch at the commencement of a voyage and subsequent relieving watches are sufficiently rested and otherwise fit for duty.
2 Each Administration shall, for the purpose of preventing drug and alcohol abuse, ensure that adequate measures are established in accordance with the provisions of section A-VIII/1 while taking into account the guidance given in section B-VIII/1 of the STCW Code.
Regulation VIII/2
Watchkeeping arrangements and principles to be observed
1 Administrations shall direct the attention of companies, masters, chief engineer officers and all watchkeeping personnel to the requirements, principles and guidance set out in the STCW Code which shall be observed to ensure that a safe continuous watch or watches appropriate to the prevailing circumstances and conditions are maintained on all seagoing ships at all times.
2 Administrations shall require the master of every ship to ensure that watchkeeping arrangements are adequate for maintaining a safe watch or watches, taking into account the prevailing circumstances and conditions and that, under the master’s general direction:
.1 officers in charge of the navigational watch are responsible for navigating the ship safely during their periods of duty, when they shall be physically present on the navigating bridge or in a directly associated location such as the chartroom or bridge control room at all times;
.2 radio operators are responsible for maintaining a continuous radio watch on appropriate frequencies during their periods of duty;
.3 officers in charge of an engineering watch, as defined in the STCW Code, under the direction of the chief engineer officer, shall be immediately available and on call to attend the machinery spaces and, when required, shall be physically present in the machinery space during their periods of responsibility;
.4 an appropriate and effective watch or watches are maintained for the purpose of safety at all times, while the ship is at anchor or moored and, if the ship is carrying hazardous cargo, the organization of such watch or watches takes full account of the nature, quantity, packing and stowage of the hazardous cargo and of any special conditions prevailing on board, afloat or ashore; and
.5 as applicable, an appropriate and effective watch or watches are maintained for the purposes of security.”

Pooblastila in overitve
1 Pooblastila o nazivu izdaja izključno uprava po preveritvi verodostojnosti in veljavnosti vseh potrebnih listinskih dokazov.
2 Pooblastila za poveljnike in častnike v skladu s praviloma V/1-1 in V/1-2 izdaja samo uprava.
3 Pooblastila so v uradnem jeziku ali jezikih države, ki je pooblastilo izdala. Če besedilo ni v angleškem jeziku, mora biti prevedeno tudi v angleški jezik.
4 Pogodbenice lahko za radijske operaterje:
4.1 v izpit za izdajo pooblastila v skladu s pravili o radijski službi vključijo dodatno znanje, predpisano z ustreznimi pravili, ali
4.2 izdajo ločeno pooblastilo z navedbo, da ima njegov imetnik dodatno znanje, predpisano z ustreznimi pravili.
5 Overitev iz VI. člena konvencije za potrditev izdaje pooblastila se izda samo, če so izpolnjene vse zahteve konvencije.
6 Pogodbenica lahko po lastni presoji vključi overitve v obrazec izdanih pooblastil iz oddelka A-I/2 kodeksa STCW. Če je overitev vključena, je treba uporabiti obrazec iz prvega odstavka oddelka A-I/2. Če se izda ločeno, se uporabi obrazec za overitev iz drugega odstavka istega oddelka.
7 Uprava, ki prizna po pravilu I/10:
7.1 pooblastilo o nazivu ali
7.2 posebno pooblastilo, izdano poveljnikom in častnikom v skladu s praviloma V/1-1 in V/1-2, izda overitev za potrditev pooblastila po preveritvi njegove verodostojnosti in veljavnosti.
Overitev se lahko izda samo, če so izpolnjene vse zahteve iz konvencije. Uporabi se obrazec za overitev iz tretjega odstavka oddelka A-I/2 kodeksa STCW.
8 Overitve iz petega, šestega in sedmega odstavka:
8.1 se lahko izdajo kot ločeni dokumenti;
8.2 izda le uprava;
8.3 vsaka ima svojo številko, s tem da ima lahko overitev izdaje pooblastila isto številko kot pooblastilo, če ima vsaka overitev svojo številko, in
8.4 potečejo takrat, ko poteče overjeno pooblastilo ali ko ga pogodbenica, ki ga je izdala, odvzame, začasno prekliče ali razveljavi, vendar ne pozneje kot pet let po dnevu izdaje.
9 Imetnik pooblastila lahko opravlja delo, za katero je usposobljen in je navedeno v obrazcu za overitev z enakimi izrazi kot v veljavnih zahtevah uprave o najmanjšem številu članov posadke.
10 Uprava lahko uporabi obrazec, ki se razlikuje od obrazca iz oddelka A-I/2 kodeksa STCW, če so zahtevani podatki napisani v latinici in z arabskimi številkami ter upoštevajo različice, dovoljene v oddelku A-I/2.
11 V skladu s petim odstavkom pravila I/10 mora biti izvirnik pooblastila, ki ga zahteva konvencija, na voljo na ladji, na kateri dela imetnik pooblastila.
12 Pogodbenica zagotovi, da se pooblastila izdajo samo kandidatom, ki izpolnjujejo zahteve iz tega pravila.
13 Kandidat za pooblastilo mora predložiti ustrezna dokazila o:
13.1 istovetnosti;
13.2 tem, da ni mlajši, kakor predpisuje pravilo, ki velja za pooblastilo, za katero je zaprosil;
13.3 tem, da izpolnjuje zahteve za zdravstveno sposobnost iz oddelka A-I/9 kodeksa STCW;
13.4 tem, da je opravil plovbno dobo in drugo obvezno usposabljanje, ki ga določajo pravila za izdajo pooblastila, za katero je zaprosil, in
13.5 tem, da izpolnjuje zahteve, predpisane s temi pravili, glede usposobljenosti, nalog in ravni, ki morajo biti navedene na overitvi pooblastila.
14 Pogodbenica se zaveže, da bo vodila seznam ali sezname vseh pooblastil in overitev za poveljnike, častnike in člane posadke, ki so bila izdana, so potekla ali so bila obnov­ljena, začasno preklicana, razveljavljena ali za katera je bilo javljeno, da so izgubljena ali uničena, in o izdanih oprostitvah.
15 Pogodbenica se zaveže, da bo zagotovila podatke o stanju pooblastil o nazivu, overitvah in oprostitvah drugim pogodbenicam in družbam, ki zaprosijo za potrditev verodostojnosti in veljavnosti pooblastil pomorščakov, ki so zaprosili, da se jim priznajo pooblastila v skladu s pravilom I/10, ali zaprosijo za zaposlitev na ladji.
16 Od 1. januarja 2017 bodo podatki o stanju zahtevanih podatkov, ki morajo biti na razpolago po petnajstem odstavku tega pravila, na voljo v elektronski obliki v angleškem jeziku.
Pravilo I/3
Načela, ki urejajo obalno plovbo
1 Pogodbenice pri določanju območja obalne plovbe za namen konvencije ne postavljajo strožjih zahtev za usposabljanje, izkušnje ali izdajanje pooblastil za pomorščake na ladjah, ki plovejo v območju obalne plovbe pod zastavo druge pogodbenice, kakor jih postavljajo za pomorščake na ladjah, ki plovejo pod njihovo zastavo. Pogodbenica ne sme v nobenem primeru postavljati za pomorščake, ki delajo na ladjah, ki plovejo pod zastavo druge pogodbenice, strožjih zahtev od zahtev v konvenciji, ki se nanašajo na ladje, ki plovejo zunaj območja obalne plovbe.
2 Pogodbenica ladje, ki plovejo v območju obalne plovbe v skladu z določbami konvencije, kar vključuje plovbo ob obali drugih pogodbenic v območju obalne plovbe, kot so ga določile te pogodbenice, mora s temi pogodbenicami skleniti pogodbo, v kateri opredeli podrobnosti o kategoriji plovbe in druge zahteve.
3 Za ladje, ki plovejo pod zastavo posamezne pogodbenice in redno plovejo v območju obalne plovbe obale druge pogodbenice, pogodbenica, pod katere zastavo plove ladja, predpiše zahteve za usposabljanje, izkušnje in izdajanje pooblastil za pomorščake, ki delajo na teh ladjah, ki so vsaj enake tistim, ki jih predpiše pogodbenica, ob obali katere plove ladja, če niso strožje od zahtev v konvenciji za ladje, ki plovejo zunaj območja obalne plovbe. Pomorščaki na ladji, ki zapusti območje obalne plovbe, ki ga je določila pogodbenica, in vplove v vode, ki jih ta opredelitev ne zajema, morajo izpolnjevati ustrezne zahteve o usposobljenosti iz konvencije.
4 Pogodbenica lahko ladji, ki ima pravico pluti pod njeno zastavo, ki redno plove v območju obalne plovbe nepogodbenice, odobri ugodnosti iz konvencije, ki se nanašajo na obalno plovbo, kot jo je opredelila ta pogodbenica.
5 Pooblastila pomorščakov, ki jih je pogodbenica izdala za svoje območje obalne plovbe, lahko sprejmejo druge pogodbenice za plovbo v svojih območjih obalne plovbe, če pogodbenice sklenejo dogovor, v katerem opredelijo podrobnosti o kategoriji plovbe in drugih zahtevah.
6 Pogodbenice, ki opredelijo obalno plovbo v skladu s tem pravilom:
6.1 upoštevajo načela iz oddelka A-I/3, ki urejajo obalno plovbo;
6.2 v skladu s pravilom I/7 obvestijo generalnega sekretarja o podrobnostih sprejetih določb in
6.3 vključijo območje obalne plovbe v overitve, izdane v skladu s petim, šestim ali sedmim odstavkom pravila I/2.
7 Nobena določba tega pravila ne posega v jurisdikcijo nobene države, ne glede na to, ali je pogodbenica konvencije ali ne.
Pravilo I/4
Nadzorni postopki
1 Nadzor, ki ga opravlja pravilno pooblaščena oseba v skladu z X. členom, je omejen na:
1.1 preverjanje v skladu s prvim odstavkom X. člena, da imajo vsi na ladji zaposleni pomorščaki, ki morajo po konvenciji imeti pooblastilo, ustrezno pooblastilo ali veljavno potrdilo o oprostitvi ali dokazilo, da je bila pri upravi vložena prošnja za overitev v skladu s petim odstavkom pravila I/10;
1.2 preverjanje, da so število in pooblastila pomorščakov, zaposlenih na ladji, usklajena z zahtevami uprave o najmanjšem številu članov posadke, in
1.3 v skladu z oddelkom A-I/4 kodeksa STCW oceno sposobnosti pomorščakov na ladji za izpolnjevanje standardov za ladijsko stražo in zaščito po tej konvenciji, če so jasni razlogi za sum, da ti standardi niso izpolnjeni, ker:
1.3.1 je ladja trčila, nasedla ali namerno nasedla ali
1.3.2 so bile z ladje izpuščene snovi med plovbo, medtem ko je bila zasidrana ali privezana, kar je po mednarodnih konvencijah nezakonito, ali
1.3.3 so ladjo upravljali nepazljivo in nevarno, pri čemer niso bili upoštevani ukrepi za ohranjanje smeri plovbe, ki jih je sprejela organizacija, ali veljajo za varno navigacijsko prakso in postopke ali
1.3.4 tudi drugače ladjo vodijo tako, da je nevarno za ljudi, premoženje, okolje ali je ogrožena zaščita.
2 Pomanjkljivosti, ki lahko pomenijo nevarnost za ljudi, premoženje ali okolje, so:
2.1 pomorščaki nimajo pooblastila, ustreznega pooblastila, veljavne oprostitve ali dokazila, da je bila vloga za overitev predložena upravi v skladu s petim odstavkom pravila I/10;
2.2 neizpolnjevanje zahtev uprave o najmanjšem številu članov posadke;
2.3 organizacija krovne ali strojne straže ni v skladu z zahtevami, ki jih za ladjo določi uprava;
2.4 v sestavi straže ni osebe, usposobljene za ravnanje z opremo, ki je nujno potrebna za varno plovbo, radijsko zvezo v stiski ali preprečevanje onesnaževanja morja, in
2.5 nezmožnost, da se za prvo stražo na začetku plovbe in vse naslednje straže za zamenjavo zagotovijo osebe, ki so dovolj spočite ter tudi drugače sposobne opravljati naloge.
3 Če niso odpravljene pomanjkljivosti iz drugega odstavka, za katere je pogodbenica, ki opravlja nadzor, ugotovila, da so nevarne za ljudi, premoženje ali okolje, je to edini razlog iz X. člena, zaradi katerega sme pogodbenica zadržati ladjo.
Pravilo I/5
Notranji predpisi
1 Pogodbenica vzpostavi postopke za nepristransko preiskavo vsake prijavljene neusposobljenosti, storjenega ali opuščenega dejanja ali grožnje za zaščito, ki lahko na morju pomeni neposredno nevarnost za življenje, premoženje ali morsko okolje in so ga storili imetniki pooblastil ali overitev, ki jih je izdala ta pogodbenica, pri opravljanju nalog v zvezi s svojimi pooblastili, in postopke za odvzem, začasni preklic ali razveljavitev pooblastil v takih primerih ter za preprečevanje goljufij.
2 Pogodbenica sprejme in izvaja ustrezne ukrepe za preprečevanje goljufij in drugih nezakonitih dejanj v zvezi z izdanimi pooblastili in overitvami.
3 Pogodbenica predpiše kazni ali disciplinske ukrepe, kadar niso izpolnjene določbe njene notranje zakonodaje za izvajanje te konvencije, za ladje, ki plovejo pod njeno zastavo, ali pomorščake, katerih pooblastila je izdala ta pogodbenica.
4 Take kazni ali disciplinski ukrepi se predpišejo in izvajajo, zlasti ko:
4.1 družba ali poveljnik zaposli osebo, ki nima pooblastila po tej konvenciji;
4.2 poveljnik dovoli, da naloge ali dela, za katera pravila zahtevajo, da jih opravlja oseba z ustreznim pooblastilom, opravlja oseba, ki nima zahtevanega pooblastila, veljavne oprostitve ali dokazila, kot ga zahteva peti odstavek pravila I/10, ali
