Captain Arif Jamaid admitted that he violated the Maritime regulations, particularly the Malta Maritime Authority Act due to misunderstanding of English text on a navigation chart after he manoeuvred his ship through the “restricted” South Comino Channel.    This channel is limited to “non-commercial vessels and vessels 50 metres or less” and the 43-year-old captain navigated the 146-metre-long vessel through this channel.  Captain Jamaid, who was fined Lm4,000, clarified how he misinterpreted the words “restricted to” to “restricted for” and sailed through the channel.
