Grant of certificates on passing examination.

99.(1) A person who has attained the rank of lieutenant, sub-lieutenant,
navigating lieutenant, or navigating sub-lieutenant in Her Majesty's Navy, or
of lieutenant in Her Majesty's [Indian Navy], shall be entitled to a
certificate of service as master of a foreign-going ship without examination.

(2) A person who has attained the rank of engineer or assistant engineer in
Her Majesty's Navy or [Indian Navy], shall be entitled without examination, if
an engineer, to a certificate of service as first-class engineer, and if an
assistant engineer to a certificate of service as second-class engineer.

(3) A certificate of service shall differ in form from a certificate of
competency, and shall contain the name and rank of the person to whom it is
delivered, and the Board of Trade shall deliver a certificate of service to
any person who proves himself to be entitled thereto.

(4) The provisions of this Act (including the penal provisions) shall apply in
the case of a certificate of service as they apply in the case of a
certificate of competency, except that the provisions allowing a holder of a
certificate of competency as master of a foreign-going ship to go to sea as
master or mate of a home trade passenger ship shall not apply.][
