How does LRIT work when the ship is close to another State's coast?
If the ship is operating within 1000 nautical miles of the coast of another State, or has announced its intention to enter a port under that State's jurisdiction, the LRIT information from the ship will be automatically distributed to the State through the International Data Exchange. In this case, the State will be able to monitor the vessel, request on-demand transmissions and change the automatic reporting interval.
If the master is not a "seaman" for the purposes of UK legislation on Crew Agreements, why is he not included in the categories of persons exempted from the requirement to sign a Crew Agreement?
By virtue of the definition of "seaman" in section 313 of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995, Part I of the Merchant Shipping (Crew Agreements, Lists of Crew and Discharge of Seamen) Regulations 1991, which deals with Engagement of Seamen, does not apply to a master, in other words the master is excepted (as distinct from exempted) from the requirements of Part I. This is because, for the purposes of engagement of seamen, the master is the employer's representative (or in legal terminology, agent) and not a seaman himself.

The bunker delivery note must be kept on board, readily available for inspection at all reasonable times and retained for three years after the fuel oil has been delivered on board.
Which UK ships are Class IX(A)(T) ships?
Tankers which do not proceed to sea. (This class includes, for example, UK bunker barges operating in harbours.)
Why is there no space for a "Signature of seaman on engagement" on form ALC 1(b) as there is on form ALC 1(a)?
Because personnel on ALC 1 (b) are not parties to a Crew Agreement and therefore do not have to sign to indicate their agreement to be employed on its terms.
