Mrs. Dunwoody: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what recommendations were made to him by
the Marine Accident Investigation Board following the sinking of the Rema. [114525]
Mr. Hill: The Marine Accident Investigation Branch Report into the sinking of the Belize-registered MV Rema made one recommendation
to this Department, addressed to the Maritime and Coastguard Agency. The Agency is recommended to advocate through the International
Maritime Organisation (IMO), the fitting of hold bilge alarms in all single hold vessels.
An identical recommendation was addressed to the International Merchant Marine Registry of Belize (IMMARBE), therefore the Maritime
and Coastguard Agency will be consulting IMMARBE and the United Kingdom marine industry for their views on how this recommendation
should be supported and taken forward to the IMO.
The other four inspector's recommendations contained in the report are addressed to IMMARBE and propose measures to improve its
safety record.

Mr. Prosser: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what the minimum manning requirements were
for the vessel Rema; and if the ship complied with these on the date of her loss. [40352]
Ms Glenda Jackson: The minimum manning requirement for the vessel REMA, being registered in Belize, is as stipulated by the
International Merchant Marine Register of Belize in the vessel's Minimum Safe Manning Certificate. When the vessel was inspected in
Montrose in February 1998, the minimum safe manning required by Belize was four and it was noted that there was no Engineer Officer
aboard. When this was queried, Belize responded by producing a Minimum Safe Manning Certificate for seven, including an Engineer
officer, but the ship had life-saving appliances and accommodation for only five. As this was approximately the manning that could
be reasonably expected on a vessel of this size and type, the REMA was released from detention with a crew of five, including an
Engineer Officer, on the condition that the discrepancy between the Safe Manning Document and life saving appliance was rectified,
by Belize, before departure from the next port after release from detention. Once again we cannot say if there were five aboard the
vessel at the time of her loss.

Ms Glenda Jackson: Four port state inspections were carried out on the merchant vessel REMA in the UK in the past five years. An
additional five inspections were carried out in other countries within the region of the Paris Memorandum of Understanding in the
period since 20 August 1996. The Marine Accident Investigation Branch will be investigating the loss of the REMA on behalf of the
Belize Authorities. A report detailing their findings will be published in due course.

Mr. Prosser: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what were the minimum certificate of
competency requirements for the seafarers on the vessel Rema; what was the issuing authority of those certificates of competency;
and if the vessel complied with these on the day of her loss. [40349]
Ms Glenda Jackson: The minimum certificate of competency requirements for the seafarers on the vessel REMA being registered in
Belize are stipulated by the International Merchant Marine Registry of Belize in accordance with Regulation V/13(b) of SOLAS. The
vessel's Minimum Safe Manning Certificate, issued 10 February 1998, specifies One Master, One First Mate and One Engineer Officer.
These were the only personnel required to hold certificates of competency. When the vessel was inspected in February 1998, the
certificates of competency were issued by the International Merchant Marine Registry of Belize. It is not possible to say if the
vessel complied with the requirements of the Minimum Safe Manning Certificate on the day of her loss.
