Recommendation 29: Review the penalty of censure
From Marchioness/Bowbelle: Formal Investigation under the Merchant Shipping Act 1995, Volume I, published 23 March 2001.
Recommendation
We recommend that the Department, in conjunction with the industry, consider what is meant by censure, whether the penalty of censure should continue to exist and, if so, why. If (contrary to our present view) it is decided that it should continue to exist, we recommend that consideration be given to requiring that the censure be endorsed on the officer’s certificate.
