74: Effect of disqualification

You could also call this:

"What happens to your maritime document if you're disqualified"

Illustration for Maritime Transport Act 1994

If you hold a maritime document and a court disqualifies you from holding or getting one, your document is suspended. It has no effect while the disqualification is in place. When the disqualification ends, you must pass tests and meet requirements set by the Director before your document is valid again. If your disqualification ends before your document expires, it still has no effect until you pass the tests and meet the requirements. The Director decides what tests and requirements you must pass. You cannot use your maritime document until you have done this.
