26.1.6 Minimum Hours of Rest
The owner/operator or Master should ensure that the crew are provided with at least the minimum hours of rest. These should not be less than:
-
a) ten hours in any 24-hour period; and
-
b) 77 hours in any seven-day period.
Hours of rest may be divided into no more than 2 periods; one of which should be at least 6 hours long, and the interval in between should not exceed 14 hours.
It is expected that as far as practicable the Master will arrange for conducting emergency drills such as musters, fire-fighting and abandon vessel drills in a way which minimises the disturbance to rest periods and provide compensatory rest for seafarers whose normal rest is disturbed by call-outs for drills.
