26.2.1 Introduction
An Administration should ensure that all vessels are safely and sufficiently manned in relation to the nature of their operation with the responsibilities placed on companies owning or operating seagoing vessels, to ensure that their vessels are manned with personnel of appropriate grades who have been properly trained and certificated.
The numbers of certificated officers and certificated and non-certificated ratings must be sufficient to ensure safe and efficient operation of the vessel at all times.
The guidelines place a duty on the owner or operator to provide the master of a vessel with the necessary resources to comply with the manning requirements.
