Any change to the minimum numbers and/or minimum qualifications shown above must be submitted to Barbados Ships’ Registry for consideration and approval.
A deck officer with an AEC or MEOL qualification will be accepted for the engineering post requiring that qualification providing he is not the Master and minimum safe manning numbers are maintained.
For Yachts under 500 GRT of 3000kW, the requirements for engineers will be as shown above provided there is a simple engine room layout and engine configuration. Where engine power is over 3000 kW and engine room layout and engine configuration are complicated, these requirements may be re-assessed by BMSR.
