Maritime Transport Act 1994

Safety at sea - General provisions relating to safety

179: Medical certificates required in respect of seafarers under 18 years of age

You could also call this:

"Young seafarers no longer need a special medical certificate."

If you are a seafarer under 18 years of age, there used to be a rule about getting a medical certificate. This rule was part of the Maritime Transport Act 1994. The rule was repealed, which means it is no longer in effect, and this happened on 2 February 1998, as stated in section 187.
