Schedule 3 CERTIFICATION OF ENGINEER OFFICERS
This Schedule sets out, for the purpose of paragraph 6.1(c) of this Order, the Annex to IMO Resolution A.623(15).

ANNEX RECOMMENDATION ON MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR CERTIFICATION OF CHIEF ENGINEER OFFICERS AND SECOND ENGINEER OFFICERS OF FISHING VESSELS POWERED BY MAIN PROPULSION MACHINERY OF 750 kW PROPULSION POWER OR MORE
1 Every chief engineer officer and second engineer officer serving on a seagoing fishing vessel powered by main propulsion machinery of 750 kW propulsion power or more should hold an appropriate certificate.
2 Every candidate for certification should:
.1 be not less than 18 years of age;
.2 satisfy the Administration as to medical fitness, including eyesight and hearing;
.3 for certification as second engineer officer, have not less than 12 months approved seagoing service in the engine‑room on fishing vessels; however, this period may be reduced to not less than 6 months if the Administration requires special training which it considers to be equivalent to the approved seagoing service it replaces;
.4 for certification as chief engineer officer, have not less than 24 months approved seagoing service on fishing vessels of which not less than 12 months should be served while qualified to serve as second engineer officer;
.5 have attended an approved practical fire‑fighting course; and
.6 have passed an appropriate examination to the satisfaction of the Administration. Such examination should include the material set out in the appendix to this Recommendation, except that the Administration may vary the requirements for examination and seagoing service for officers of fishing vessels engaged in voyages in limited waters bearing in mind the power of the propulsion machinery and the effect on the safety of all fishing vessels which may be operating in the same waters.
3 The approved seagoing service prescribed in 2.3 and 2.4 may be replaced by approved seagoing service in the engine‑room on merchant ships.
4 Training to achieve the necessary theoretical knowledge and practical experience should take into account relevant international regulations and recommendations.
5 The level of knowledge required under the different paragraphs of the appendix may be varied according to whether the certificate is being issued at chief engineer officer or second engineer officer level.
