(2) The Federal Government may, if it considers necessary or expedient so to do permit, by order in writing, any person, not being a person otherwise duly certificated who satisfies the prescribed requirements, to act in a capacity higher than that for which he is so certificated, and a person so permitted shall be deemed to have been duly certificated to act in that capacity for so long as the order remains in force, but nothing herein shall permit anyone to act as a master unless he holds Class I Master Mariner Certificate or a certificate of lower grade with suitable endorsement appropriate for the class of ship or as Chief Engineer required under this Ordinance to hold a certificate not lower than Class I Chief Engineer Certificate.
