and (ii) 72 hours in any seven-day period; or (b) minimum hours of rest shall not be less than: (i) ten hours in any 24-hour period; and (ii)

6. Hours of rest may be divided into no more than two periods, one of which shall be at least six hours in length, and the interval between
consecutive periods of rest shall not exceed 14 hours.
13. Nothing in paragraphs 5 and 6 of this Standard shall prevent a Member from having national laws or regulations or a procedure for the
competent authority to authorize or register collective agreements permitting exceptions to the limits set out.
14. Nothing in this Standard shall be deemed to impair the right of the master of a ship to require a seafarer to perform any hours of work
necessary for the immediate safety of the ship, persons on board or cargo, or for the purpose of giving assistance to other ships or
persons in distress at sea. Accordingly, the master may suspend the schedule of hours of work or hours of rest and require a seafarer to
perform any hours of work necessary until the normal situation has been restored. As soon as practicable after the normal situation has
been restored, the master shall ensure that any seafarers who have performed work in a scheduled rest period are provided with an
adequate period of rest.
STCW Convention
Section A-VIII/1 of the STCW Code (Mandatory)
2. All persons who are assigned duty as officer in charge of a watch or as a rating forming part of a watch and those whose duties involve
designated safety, prevention of pollution and security duties shall be provided with a rest period of not less than:
.1 a minimum of 10 hours rest in any 24-hour period; and
.2 77 hours in any 7-day period.
3. The hours of rest may be divided into no more than two periods, one of which shall be at least 6 hours in length and the intervals
between consecutive periods of rest shall not exceed 14 hours.
4. The requirements for rest periods laid down in paragraphs 2.and 3. need not be maintained in the case of an emergency or in other
overriding operational conditions.
5. Administrations shall require that watch schedules be posted where they are easily accessible.
8. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to impair the right of the master of a ship to require a seafarer to perform any hours of work
necessary for the immediate safety of the ship, persons on board or cargo, or for the purpose of giving assistance to other ships or
persons in distress at sea As soon as practicable after the normal situation has been restored, the master shall ensure that
any seafarers who have performed work in a scheduled rest period are provided with an adequate period of rest.
9. Parties may allow exceptions form the required hours of rest in paragraphs 2.2 and 3 above provided that the rest period is not less than
70 hours in any 7-day period. Exceptions from the weekly rest period provided for in paragraph 2.2 shall not be allowed for more than
two consecutive weeks. The intervals between two periods of exceptions on board shall not be less than twice the duration of the

least 6 hours in length, and neither of the other two periods shall be less than one hour in length. The intervals between consecutive
periods of rest shall not exceed 14 hours. Exceptions shall not extend beyond two 24-hour periods in any 7-day period.
Section B-VIII/1 of the STCW Code (Guidance)
3. In applying regulation VIII/1, the following should be taken into account:

.1 provisions made to prevent fatigue should ensure that excessive or unreasonable overall working hours are not undertaken. In
particular, the minimum rest periods specified in section A- VIII/1 should not be interpreted as implying that all other hours may be
devoted to watchkeeping or other duties;
.2 the frequency and length of leave periods, and the granting of compensatory leave, are material factors in preventing fatigue
from building up over a period of time; and
.3 the provisions may be varied for ships on short sea voyages, provided special safety arrangements are put in place.
