MERCHANT SHIPPING ACT 1906 - SECT 27

Certificated cooks for foreign-going ships.

27.(1)... every British foreign-going ship of a thousand tons and upwards
gross tonnage, going to sea from any place in the British Islands or on the
continent of Europe between the River Elbe and Brest inclusive, shall be
provided with and carry a duly certificated cook who is able to prove one
month's service at sea in some capacity.

(2) A cook shall not be deemed to be duly certificated within the meaning of
this section unless he is the holder of a certificate of competency in cooking
granted by the Board of Trade or by some school of cookery or other
institution approved for the purpose by that Board, or is the holder of
certificates of discharge showing at least two years' service as cook
previously to the said thirtieth day of June nineteen hundred and eight.

(3) The cook shall be rated in the ship's articles as ship's cook, or in the
case of ships of not more than two thousand tons gross tonnage, or ships in
which the crew, or the majority of the crew, provide their own provisions,
either as ship's cook or as cook and steward.

(4) In the case of an emigrant ship, the ship's cook shall be in addition to
the cook required by section three hundred and four of the principal Act.

(5) If the requirements of this section are not complied with in the case of
any ship, the master or owner of the ship shall, if there is no sufficient
reason for the failure to comply with the requirements, for each offence be
liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding twenty-five pounds.]
