26.1.7 — Exceptions to the Limits on Hours of Rest Regeling veiligheid zeeschepen

Exceptions to the Limits on Hours of Rest

The limits defined should as far as practicable be observed. However, an exception maybe considered so long as they are agreed between the Master, crew members and designated person ashore (if applicable), and provided that their health and safety, and the safety of the vessel, is not compromised. Exceptions from the weekly rest period provided for in paragraph 26.1.6 should not be allowed for more than two consecutive weeks. The intervals between two periods of exceptions on board should not be less than twice the duration of the exception.

When considering whether an exception is appropriate, the Master should give due regard to the associated duties being considered and in this respect exceptions to persons undertaking watch keeping duties and/or with safety critical duties would not be considered appropriate.

In allowing any such agreed exception and to ensure that a crew member does not become fatigued, such exceptions should be documented and accompanied by commensurate rest arrangements.
