Hours of Rest have long been one of the most contentious topics among seafarers across all sectors of the maritime industry. Given that many at sea face fatigue from extended periods of work as well as sporadic and often broken sleep, it’s not surprising that they take a keen interest in the regulations governing their hours of work and rest.

In this course, you’re going to look at what makes up the hours of rest regulations, when exceptions to them may be granted and who they apply to. To break the information down, the course is split into; The minimum hours of rest requirement (and how this is impacted by the ‘in any’ rule); The rules around rest periods; Exceptions to the rules.
