Nature of qualifying service.
- Sea service means service on Articles of Agreement as engineer. When part or whole of the qualifying service has been performed in ships which for considerable periods have not been at sea, a statement or certificate from the owners of the ship must be produced showing the proportion of time actually spent at sea. If this time amounts to not less than two-thirds of the service required to qualify for the examination, the service will be accepted in full, but where the actual service at seafalls below this proportion, the deficiency must be made up by additional service at sea.26. Non-Engineer Service.
- Service in ships where a watch-keeping engineer is, as part of his regular duties, required to do stoking or other work not usually performed by an engineer in the Merchant Navy, cannot be accepted as qualifying.27. Service on auxiliary machinery.
- Time served on auxiliary machinery run in conjunction with the main propelling machinery (i.e., on auxiliaries which are essential to the running of the main propelling machinery and/or boilers) will subject to the conditions as regards the minimum service on boilers and main engines, be allowed to count in full towards the qualifying period of sea service. Time served on suitable auxiliaries run independently of the main propelling machinery will he allowed to count at half rate.28. Home-Trade Ships.
- Service in home-trade ships will be allowed to count at two-thirds rate, provided that the class of service and the horse-power of the ship render the service acceptable in all other respects.29. Qualifying Coasting Voyages.
- In the case of Indian home-trade and coasting voyages extending beyond a distance of 500 miles from the port of departure such service will count as foreign-going voyages, and will be reckoned as full time.30. Service in ships trading entirely abroad.
- Service in ships trading entirely abroad will be accepted as equivalent to service in foreign-going ships, provided that the distance between the ports visited during the course of the voyage is at least 500 miles. If the distance is less than 500 miles, the service will be accepted as equivalent only to service in the home-trade, i.e., it will be allowed to count at two-third rate.31. Lake or river service.
- Service as watch-keeping engineer in lake or river vessels will be accepted under the following conditions fora Steam or Motor Certificate, or a combined Steam and Motor Certificate, and will be counted at half rate (i.e., two months of lake or river service will be regarded as equivalent to one month foreign-going sea service) provided that :32.

Service in Yachts.
- Service as watch-keeping engineer at sea performed in yachts of the horse-power referred to in rules 17 and 22 will be accepted at two-thirds rate, provided the service satisfies the requirements set out in those rules and the candidate's name is entered on the ship's Articles of Agreement with his rank shown as engineer.35. Further requirements.
- A candidate for a First Class Certificate must, in addition to his service in yachts, have had at least three months' service in a qualifying capacity on board a foreign-going ship or the equivalent service in the home trade, unless he has served for 27 months as Chief Engineer or for three years as a Second Engineer in a steam yacht of not less than 99 nominal horse-power and/or a motor yacht of not less than 560 brake horse-power.36. Testimonials.
- Every candidate must produce testimonials in respect of the qualifying period of his service signed, in each case, by the Chief Engineer under whom his service has been performed, stating his actual rank on watch, the number of engineers simultaneously on watch on the boilers and/or the main propelling machinery and the nature of the duties performed by him. When the candidate is a Chief Engineer, he should produce testimonials signed by the Engineer Superintendent, or by the Managing Owner or Secretary of the Company.

Testimonials signed only by the Company's Superintendent or other officials will not, as a rule, be regarded as sufficient.38. Form of Testimonial.
- A specimen copy of the form of testimonial is set out in Appendix E. Testimonials will be returned to candidates when the examination is completed.39. [ Physical or mental defects. [Substituted by G.S.R. 2703, dated 25th November, 1969.]
- If the Examiner of Engineers finds that a candidate is afflicted with deafness or with some other physical or mental infirmity and is satisfied that the degree of infirmity is such as to interfere with the proper performance of the candidate's duties, he shall report the case with full particulars to the Director-General of Shipping [for such action as may be deemed necessary].]]40. Verification of sea service.
- Service which cannot be verified by proper entries in the Articles of Agreement of the ships in which the candidates have served cannot be counted. In all cases, the candidates' names must have been duly entered on the ship's Articles of Agreement as engineers in the ranks in which they were actually serving.41. Testimonials to be submitted in time.
- As discharges and testimonials may have to be forwarded to the Shipping Master for verification, they must be handed in, together with the form of application, not less than one week before the date of the examination for which the candidate desires to appear. In the absence of the necessary verification, the candidate cannot be examined.42. Confirmation or endorsement of testimonial.
- Where, as in the case of the service of engineers in foreign ships, the length of service cannot be verified by the Shipping Master, the testimonials of service must be confirmed either by the Consul of the country to which the ship in which the candidate served belonged, or by some other recognised official authority of that country, or by some responsible person having personal knowledge of the facts required to be established. Where the testimonial is not confirmed by a Consul or other official authority of the country referred to, it should be endorsed by an Indian Consular Officer.43. Calculation of Service.
- The candidate's service, as shown on his discharges, will be reckoned by the calendar month, i.e., the time included between any given day in any month and the preceding day of the following month, both inclusive. The number of complete months from the commencement of the period, ascertained in this way, should be computed, after which the number of odd days should be counted. The day on which the Agreement commences, as well as that on which it terminates, should both be included, and all odd days added together and reckoned at 30 to the month.44. Penalty for misconduct.
- Candidates who have neglected to join their ships after having signed Articles of Agreement, or who have deserted their ships after having joined, or who have been found guilty of gross misconduct, will be required to produce satisfactory proofs of two years' subsequent service and good conduct at sea, unless the Chief Examiner, after having investigated the matter, should see fit to reduce the time.Extra First Class Engineer's Certificate45.

53. Enquiry Fee.
- A person enquiring as to his eligibility for examination will be required to pay the prescribed fee before any step is taken to enquire into his service or to test his qualifications, etc.54. Issue of Certificates.
- When the candidate has successfully completed all parts of his examination, he will receive a form authorising the Principal Officer of the Mercantile Marine Department to whom it is addressed to issue the certificate. Certificates of competency, or certificates of service, or certificates of competency granted by other Governments but declared to have the same force as those granted under the Act, of a lower grade, will not be returned to successful candidates. Other candidates will receive a record of their examination results on form Exn. 45. This form must be produced to the Examiner when a candidate next presents himself for examination.55. Service found to be insufficient.
- If, after a candidate has passed the examination, it is discovered on further investigation that his services are insufficient to entitle him to receive a certificate, the certificate will not be granted until the candidate has performed the amount of service on which he was deficient, and has been re-examined, unless the Central Government sees fit to dispense with the re-examination.56. Copy of lost certificate.
- An applicant for a certificated copy of a lost certificate of competency should fill in a form of application (Exn. 23) giving the necessary particulars, and delivering it to the Principal Officer of the Mercantile Marine Department who issued the certificate, paying at the same time the appropriate fee (Rs. 10 for an Extra First Class or First Class Certificate and Rs. 5 for a Second Class Certificate). A declaration as to the circumstances in which the certificate was lost must be made by the applicant before the Principal Officer. A fee of Re. 1 only is chargeable if the applicant can prove that the certificate was lost through shipwreck of fire.57. Re-examination.
- Ordinarily, a candidate may present himself for re-examination at any time after one month has elapsed since his previous attempt, but if he fails three times in Part A or three times in Part B within any period of three months, he will be debarred from re-examination for a period, depending on the circumstances, of up to three months or in exceptional cases, up to six months.58. Penalties for failure in examinations.
- It is evident that ignorance of those subjects which form a vital part of a marine engineer's daily work (e.g., questions on manipulation and reading of the water-gauge, the danger of fire and explosion in steam and motor vessels, etc.) can easily cause acts or omissions which would seriously endanger a ship. In particular, candidates should be very familiar with the water-gauge (See Appendix H). A failure in one of these subjects, either in the Engineering Knowledge paper or the oral test in Part B of the examination, will be regarded as failure in practical knowledge, and any candidate so failing will not be allowed to present himself for re-examination until he can produce proofs of further service at sea in a qualifying capacity. The period of the further service which will be required will be assessed in each individual case by the Chief Examiner but will not exceed six months.59.
Should a candidate fail through ignorance of fundamental principles, or on account of general defectiveness in the examination, he shall not be allowed present himself for re-examination until a period of time to be fixed by the Chief Examiner has elapsed. Such period will not usually exceed three months, but in the case of a subsequent failure on account of general defectiveness the penalty may, in exceptional circumstances, be increased to a maximum of six months.Examinations And Exemptions60. Place and day of examination.
- The examination centres are located at the ports of Bombay and Calcutta. The examinations at both these ports will ordinarily commence on the third Monday in each month for both Second Class and First Class Certificates. The information regarding actual dates of the examination may be obtained from the Principal Officer, Mercantile Marine Department, Bombay/Calcutta.The time-table of the different examinations are given in Appendix 'B'.The examination for Extra First Class Certificates will commence on the Tuesday following the third Monday in January and July of each year.61.
