Schedule 2 CERTIFICATION OF DECK OFFICERS ON VESSELS LESS THAN 24 METRES
This Schedule sets out, for the purpose of paragraph 6.1(b) of this Order, the Annex to IMO Resolution A.576(14).

ANNEX RECOMMENDATION ON STANDARDS FOR SKIPPERS AND OFFICERS IN CHARGE OF A NAVIGATIONAL WATCH ON FISHING VESSELS OF LESS THAN 24 METRES IN LENGTH OPERATING IN UNLIMITED AND LIMITED WATERS
1 So far as it is reasonable and practicable to do so, having regard to the size of vessels concerned, the Administration should make provisions for skippers and officers in charge of a navigational watch on fishing vessels of less than 24 m in length to have adequate knowledge, as appropriate, for the safe operation of such vessels, bearing in mind the safety of all ships which may be operating in the same waters and the need for a safe navigational watch to be kept on the fishing vessels concerned.
2 Unless the Administration is satisfied that the size of the fishing vessel and the conditions of its voyage would render it unreasonable or impracticable, every skipper and officer in charge of a navigational watch serving on a fishing vessel of less than 24 m in length operating in unlimited waters should hold a certificate recognized by the Administration.
3 In considering the requirements for skippers and officers in charge of a navigational watch on fishing vessels of less than 24 m in length, the Administration should inter alia take into account the need for sufficient knowledge of:
.1 navigation;
.2 International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea;
.3 compass;
.4 communications;
.5 fire prevention and fire‑fighting appliances;
.6 life saving;
.7 emergency procedures;
.8 vessel manoeuvring;
.9 vessel stability;
.10 meteorology;
.11 small vessel power plants;
.12 first aid;
.13 search and rescue; and
.14 prevention of pollution of the marine environment.
4 In addition, the Administration should take into account the need for skippers and officers in charge of a navigational watch on such vessels to have the ability to operate safely all navigational aids and equipment normally fitted aboard the vessels concerned.
