(c) the risk of fatigue of the master and crew;
(d) the number of persons to be carried on the vessel and the effectiveness and timeliness of arrangements for passenger monitoring, taking into account that the master of the vessel must be able to find out the number of passengers on board the vessel at any time;
(e) the design characteristics of the vessel, including its general arrangements, machinery and equipment;
(f) the qualifications and competencies of the master and crew, including circumstances where only the master holds mandated engineering qualifications;
(g) the competency required for the use of technological aids to safety and navigation fitted in addition to the mandatory requirements;
(h) the area of operation of the vessel and expected conditions, for example weather, climate and water temperatures;
(i) the duration of the voyage;
(j) the requirements for the vessel's emergency preparedness, including the vessel's emergency plan and evacuation arrangements;
(k) the maintenance requirements of the vessel, and its machinery and equipment;
(l) the external support available to the vessel.
Examples of kinds of operation for paragraph (a):
           * carriage of passengers
           * fishing
           * tourism.
Examples of technological aids to safety and navigation for paragraph (g):
           * fire safety systems
           * remote engineering monitoring and diagnostics
           * electronic communication and navigation equipment
           * closed circuit TV.
       (5) The determination for each kind of operation of the vessel must be recorded in the vessel's safety management system together with information and responses that address the matters mentioned in subclause (4).

6A Minimum crewing
       (1) The determination of appropriate crewing must be no less than the numbers set out in the following table for the vessel mentioned:

Vessel            Total minimum figure for master and crew (including engineer)  Master  Engineer

>55 m and <80 m#  4                                                              1       1

>12 m and <35 m#    2*                                                           1       1

# provided the vessel is <3000 GT and <3000 kW

* In the case of a vessel <750 kW propulsion power, the master and engineer roles may be combined in the one person if the master holds a certificate which permits the holder to operate the engines of the vessel. In that case, there must still be another crew member on board to make up the total of 2. In the case of a vessel ≥750 kW propulsion power, the master and engineer roles cannot be combined in the one person.

** If the master of the vessel does not hold a certificate which permits the holder to operate the engines of the vessel, there must be an additional crew member on board who holds an engineering certificate.
