Neil, does a 9 + 2 ferry / train break plus the movements still count as a 9 hour rest and therefore limit us to 3 ferry crossings in a week using this method. A bit confusing but I know what I mean
9+2+ movements = >11 so not a reduced rest.

Right.
I know in your other posts you have said that you can only do this if you have a short day. ie. no more than about 12 hours in total.
I am confusing myself and probably shot myself in the foot this week. 
I crossed over twice with 2 ferry breaks, plus I had one reduced rest on land and then it hit me that I couldn’t reduce again, where, in reality I could have done just that.

True. By the time you have 11 hours rest plus the time for the 2 movements, say 30 - 60 minutes, that only leaves you 12 - 12.5 hours shift time so as it all fits into the 24-hour period.

Based on the information given you only reduced once, the other two were interrupted daily rests, not reduced. Same as when you do a 3 + 9 split daily rest, that isn’t a reduction either.
Reduced daily rests only occur when you actually take less than 11 hours rest or your shift is more then 13 hours.
Clear as mud.
Thanks for that.
I do understand it and I was all above board. I could have been home 2 hours earlier on Saturday night as I took an 11 hour on Friday when I still had 2 nines left.
