Regulation 53 Approvals under the Crew Regulations
This regulation applies where an approval (a “crewing approval”) has been given by the Secretary of State under—
regulation 14(2)(b) of the Merchant Shipping (Local Passenger Vessels) (Masters' Licences and Hours, Manning and Training) Regulations 1993 and continues to have effect by virtue of regulation 5 of the Crew Regulations M1, or
regulation 4(2)(b) of the Crew Regulations.
A crewing approval continues to have effect as if it were an approval given under regulation 39.
Where a crewing approval was given subject to any conditions, those conditions continue to have effect.
While a crewing approval has effect, the vessel to which the approval applies must not proceed on a voyage unless it is crewed in accordance with it.
