Maritime Transport Act 1994

Offences in relation to maritime activity - Disqualification

74: Effect of disqualification

You could also call this:

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

If you have a maritime document and a court disqualifies you from holding or getting one, your document is suspended while the disqualification is in place. This means your document does not work during this time. You cannot use it until the disqualification ends. If your disqualification ends before your maritime document expires, your document still does not work until you pass tests and meet requirements set by the Director. The Director decides what tests you need to pass and what you need to do to make your document work again, and you must do these things before you can use your document.
