Whereas provision is made by the law of Nigeria for the grant of certificates of competency as A.B.:

Now, therefore, Her Majesty, in pursuance of the powers vested in Her by section 5(4) of the Merchant Shipping Act 1948 and of all other powers enabling Her in that behalf, is pleased, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, to order, and it is hereby ordered, as follows:—

3

Any provision of regulations made under section 5 of the Act applying section 104 of the Merchant Shipping Act 1894 to certificates of competency as A.B. granted under those regulations shall apply in relation to certificates of competency as A.B. granted in Nigeria.
