 Prescriptive Manning Scales depending on size, type, trading pattern or specialized operations  Goal based manning principles  Additionally to take into account security related duties

Prevention of fraudulent Certificates

 Prompt verification of authenticity of certificates  No Endorsement attesting recognition of Certificate without verification of authenticity  Concerns – Seafarers and Companies would suffer  In case of detection of fraudulent Certificate, issuing administration must be informed
