The Ministry of Shipping issued a decree between 10 and 20 November 1953
concerning the duration of service on board ship for deck and engineer officers.
The regulation specifies that the first officer and first engineer should not
be changed on a ship for a period of four years. This is to prevent the
technical condition of ships deteriorating due to frequent changes of officers.
Other deck and engine-room officers must remain at least one year on a ship.
The crew is not restricted to a fixed period on one ship; the regulation stresses,
however, the necessity of avoiding constant changes,
