The merchant navy is a profession that is by far away from the need to have a permanent legal counsel for the benefit of the employees. And obviously, as the topic suggests, the ones in concern here are the ones working onboard (as opposed to the office). Professional life onboard is strictly work oriented with less to minimum chances to give rise to situations that might demand legal proceedings.
In general, the culture on ship is to solve matters within the periphery of the ship, amicably and respectfully. The Master is normally enough by himself to solve issues that require specific and serious attention. However, as with all workplaces, there sometimes arises a situation that just cannot be solved through the honor of a good handshake and an apology; sometimes, a seafarer has no option but to turn to full fledged authorities dedicated towards the disputes pertaining to the life in the merchant navy.
Such disputes may arise when the questions o... less

When it comes to marine careers, getting promoted on board ships requires the same amount of hard work and persistence as that required in other professions.“Successful people do what unsuccessful people are unwilling to do.” The saying holds true for individuals who are persistent and remorseless at work.
The career graph of successful people is ever climbing. Luck too, plays an important role in career advancement. Although everyone tries their best, only a few get through. Today, competitiveness is the buzz around and being noticed at work was never cited as important. Of course, this means being competent at work is just not enough; it also requires an optimistic and a direct approach.
‘Career progression’ within the maritime industry is no different. Turns out that even maritime professionals love their promotions and bettering their skill levels. The ritual of climbing higher in the maritime hierarchy is more often than n... less

IMO Secretary-General Kitack Lim has welcomed the entry into force of new obligations under the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC 2006) which require shipowners to have compulsory insurance to cover abandonment of seafarers, as well as claims for death or long-term disability of seafarers.
The 2014 amendments to the MLC 2006, which comes under the auspices of the International Labour Organization (ILO), are based on guidelines which were developed by a joint IMO/ILO working group, which reported to both IMO’s Legal Committee and ILO’s governing bodies.
“These amendments, which will provide better protection for seafarers and their families, are the fruit of successful collaboration between IMO and ILO to ensure better working conditions and better protection should things go wrong. I am very pleased to see these amendments enter into force today for the Parties to MLC 2006, all of which are also IMO Member States,” ... less

in Seafarers 24 October 2016
AMSA has issued Marine Notice in order to advise vessel owners, operators and seafarers of AMSA’s approach to implementing the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 (MLC, 2006) requirements for the maximum continuous period that a seafarer can serve on board a vessel without taking leave. It also outlines how these requirements will be enforced by AMSA during MLC, 2006 more detailed inspections.
MLC, 2006 entered into force both in Australia and internationally on 20 August 2013. Since that time, AMSA has incorporated MLC, 2006 inspections within port State control (PSC) inspection regime.
AMSA inspectors continue to identify occurrences of continuous seafarer service periods extending well beyond 11 months. While AMSA has received complaints in relation to these occurrences, in some cases the crew members have subsequently agreed to additional service extensions. However, the AMSA inspectors have not always been c... less

Procedure for Ship Familiarization for New Crew Members on Ships
New crew members joining a ship must be familiarized with their duties and important information about the ship. This is to ensure that the new people onboard ship understand their responsibilities thoroughly before commencing their duties.
It is the duty of the master of the ship to ensure that each new crew member is given proper familiarization training to ensure personal safety and well-being of the ship.
The master would designate a qualified person in charge of training the new crew members of the ship.
Though all crew personnel joining the ship have to do STCW training, there are several specific instructions, which are important for safe operations on ships.
The main aim of the familiarization training is to make the new crew aware of important safety procedures that are to be carried out on ships while working or during an emergency situations. It is the duty of the officer in charge of the training to train the new... less

6 Issues Every Seafarer Going to the Sea Should Know
Bal and mental strength to working in a not-so-friendly environment on the ship.
There are several issues that a seafarer faces today. Maritime piracy, rough environment and weather etc. are some of the main ones. However, there are a few issues that have been affecting seafarers at the professional level for some time now.
Photo by mavericklee/depositphotos
In this article, we have enumerated six such issues which every seafarer should be aware of.
1. Suspension of Seafarers’ Certificate of Competency
Sometimes knowingly or unknowingly seafarers perform actions which results in the suspension of their certificate of competency (COC). When a seafarer is found guilty of any unlawful activity, the concerned authority has got full rights to temporary or permanently suspend seafarer’s COC. Every seafarer should therefore know the reasons which can lead to suspension of his COC and his career at the sea.

18. 10. 2016 - SEAFARERS JOURNAL. Началась кампания «SOS 2020 Campaign To Save UK Seafarer Jobs», целью которой является повлиять на сокращение числа британских моряков среди рядового состава.
Как отмечают эксперты, с 2011 года число британских моряков рядового состава упало на четверть, а общее их количество сократилось на 13%. Также наблюдается старение профессии, поскольку средний возраст более половины рядового состава превышает 40 лет.
Специалисты прогнозируют, что через четыре года тысячи британских моряков выйдут на пенсию, но в настоящее время замена им не готовится. Предполагается, что такая негативная статистика может повлиять на экономику страны, а также на уровень профессионализма местных моряков.

Shipping industry and seafarers bring prosperity to the world. However, the female count in the maritime industry is very limited. Mostly women don’t wish to join this challenging profession because of many reasons which have already discussed earlier. However the chosen few are doing a great job out at the seas with their heads held high up.
A maritime career doesn’t always mean a career at sea. It is quite natural for any seafarer to look for a shore job after they have spent a considerable period of time working at the seas. While on work it is all about being away from home, from friends and families. Sense of isolation and boredom is not uncommon in any seafarer’s life. At some point of time in their career most of the seafarers would want to look for jobs ashore. It seems seafarers are often not aware of some shore side career opportunities.

Вы регулярно звоните в крюинг, но там вам постоянно сообщают, что у судна поменялся чартер, и в новых портах вас слишком дорого менять, судно меняет флаг, судно продали и теперь вас запланировали уже на другой пароход. Что из этого правда и нормально ли это - ждать посадку на судно месяцами? Из-за чего у шипменеджеров сбиваются планы посадки и можете ли вы как-то повлиять на ситуацию?www.burn-media.com
