Quoth TheCheerfulTreeRat View PostAh, I see.
But that it saying that you MUST surrender it to the gummint, not that you MUST NOT let anyone else have it.
And; "Registration"? A Brit looks blank...It's floating wicker propelled by fire!

Quoth Pagan View PostWhy would I let it out of my control?
Certainly a whole host of things would take a lot longer - most of the work done for clearance is done by the Pursers department in between ports and rubber stamped by the authorities because they trust the ships.
Not so much the passengers, imagine a few thousand SCs trying to fill out paperwork correctly for different countries regulations...
Because I join and/or leave the ship at different times to the passengers, immigration normally wants shufti at me - fine for a few supernumeraries, nightmare for a shipful of passengers.
Veering off at a tangent, one snippet I was told was that in the event of the Captain ordering abandon ship, one of the purser's jobs is to go to the safe and pile all the passports into a big sack to go off the ship with us.
