Oh what a joy this has been trying to wrack my brain over this one, I read somewhere that the Manila Amendents were designed to bring rest hour regualtions more in line with the MLC and help remove any confusion. But then again it's a case of I'm an idiot or of these publications is creating unescarry confusion.
Here we go:

Please go to page 64: This quote seems factually incorrect to me:
Important: The previous provision that allowed the 10 hour rest period to be reduced to not less than six consecutive hours provided such reduction does not extend beyond two days, and not less than 70 hours of rest are provided each seven day period no longer applies in the 2010 STCW Convention.
This quote seems factually incorrect to me: from the IMO we have: http://www.imo.org/en/mediacentre/pressbriefings/pages/stcw-hours-of-rest.aspx#.W0yz4tJKhhE
"Under the exception clause, parties may allow exceptions from the required hours of rest provided that the rest period is not less than 70 hours in any 7 day period and on certain conditions"
So the '70 hours in 7 days' exception is still in STCW?
"Under the exception clause, parties may allow exceptions from the required hours of rest provided that the rest period is not less than 70 hours in any 7 day period and on certain conditions"
So the '70 hours in 7 days' exception is still in STCW?
and with regards to the rest hour exceptions it states that "the 10 hour minimum per 24 hour period is still in force"
it seems in exceptions that 10 hours is in fact 8 hours? (3 periods one at least 6 and the others at least 1hr). The minimum of 10 hours only applies to the normal rest hours.
So this is regarding the exceptions to the rest hours where within two 24 hour periods the rest may be divided into three periods where one must be 6 hours long and the other two at least 1 hour long. With your maximum duration between consecutive periods of rest being 14 hrs.
So you could say rest 6 hours work 8 rest for 1 hour work for 3 rest 1 hour then work for 5 hours then repeat....
So in that 24 hour period who have a total of 8 hours rest
and 16 hours of work but this is split into three 8 hours-3-5 is that allowed?
