Regulation 6

The Director may, at his discretion and upon such conditions as he may determine, recognise any valid certificate attesting the completion of training of ships’ cooks issued by or on behalf of or recognised by a foreign maritime administration, as being equivalent to a certificate of proficiency as a ship’s cook issued under the Act.

The recognition of any certificate issued by or on behalf of or recognised by a foreign maritime administration is subject to the condition that the Director is satisfied that the holder of the certificate is a fit and proper person to be employed on a Singapore ship.

The list of foreign maritime administrations whose certificates are recognised by the Director under paragraph (1) shall be published by the Director in such manner as he thinks fit.
