PART 15_MANNING REQUIREMENTS--Table of Contents
 
              Subpart F_Limitations and Qualifying Factors
 
Sec. 15.710  Working hours.

    In addition to prescribing watch requirements, 46 U.S.C. 8104 sets 
limitations on the working hours of licensed individuals and crew 
members, prescribes certain rest periods, and prohibits unnecessary work 
on Sundays and certain holidays when the vessel is in a safe harbor. It 
is the responsibility of the master or person in charge to ensure that 
these limitations are met. However, under 46 U.S.C. 8104(f), the master 
or other licensed individual can require any part of the crew to work 
when, in his or her judgment, they are needed for:
    (a) Maneuvering, shifting berth, mooring, unmooring;
    (b) Performing work necessary for the safety of the vessel, or the 
vessel's passengers, crew, or cargo;
    (c) Saving of life on board another vessel in jeopardy; or,
    (d) Performing fire, lifeboat, or other drills in port or at sea.
