Crewing Manual 01 Sep 2015

Crewing Manual Elements Of Due Process o Due process entails an impartial and fair investigation and an opportunity on the part of the Seaman to be heard and present his side before dismissal and repatriation or before a decision to dismiss is communicated to the Seaman o Where the dismissal is for just cause, the worker being dismissed is to be furnished with a written notice containing a statement of the causes for termination, and be given ample opportunity to be heard and defend himself10.3 Dismissal Due to IncompetenceThere is no hard and fast rule on the legal parameters of incompetenceand most often appreciation of this cause for dismissal is addressed tothe Master or the immediate superior of the Seaman.Much of the difficulty in proving incompetence lies in the general termsby which it is described in a Master's Report rather than by specificacts, deeds or omissions which are needed.General terms such as \"slow at work\", \"his performance is just such soas not to warrant outright dismissal\", \"insubordination\", \"neglect ofduty\", are short-cuts to liability of the Ship owner unless supported byspecific statements on things or acts constituting incompetence. Ifapplicable use of a list of offences and penalties contained in the CBA ispreferable.Gross incompetence when supported by sufficient evidence has alwaysbeen upheld as legal cause for dismissal. In cases of this nature, theobservance of due process (investigation, opportunity to be heard,written warning), is most desirable prior to dismissal and repatriation.10.4 Pre-TerminationIn all cases of pre-termination of contract, the principles of security oftenure and \"illegal dismissal\" claim of the Seaman is involved, and thetwin requisites of just cause and due process for terminating a workerlegally has become settled jurisprudence in a long line of cases.Controlled Revision: 01 Jan 2015CRM Part A - CRW Doc No. 010DISMISSAL Approval: WBF Page: 4 of 6

MLC Manual1.0 IntroductionThe purpose of the MLC Manual is to provide guidance to the master andcrews on board the ship on how to conduct MLC implementation andprocedures effectively in the best interest of complying to the MLCrequirement. On 23 February 2006, The Maritime Labour Convention,2006, was adopted by the International Labour Organization (ILO) as asingle international instrument setting forth a minimum set ofrequirements governing the working and living conditions for seafarers.The MLC, 2006 was drafted to compliment other international conventionson ship safety, security and quality – often referred to as the “fourthpillar” of international maritime regulation alongside the SOLAS, MARPOL,and STCW Conventions. It is also referred to as the “Bill of Rights” forseafarers.The MLC 2006 builds on the existing ILO Convention 147, and aconsolidation of 70 ILO instruments, including 37 existing maritime ILOConventions and 33 Recommendations. The maritime labor standardsembodied within these 70 ILO instruments have been amalgamated intothe MLC, 2006 with the intention of updating standards where necessary,simplifying complex or overlapping provisions into a single instrument,streamlining amendment procedures, and universal application andenforcement to all seafarers of the maritime community.Some aspects of the MLC, 2006 relate to its structure and provisionsestablished within the Articles of the Convention:Firstly, the provisions of the Convention must be given effect throughnational laws and regulations – mainly to allow a more effectiveimplementation method by the flag State through flexibilities in the MLC,2006.Therefore, flag State is primarily responsible for the enforcement of andcompliance with the MLC, 2006. Also, the certification system of the MLC,2006 is designed to be more in line with other international conventionsdeveloped under the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Lastly,the “no more favorable treatment” clause ensures that Member Statesestablish a level playing field by treating all ships equally irrespective ofwhether or not the flag State has ratified the MLC, 2006.The International Labour Organisation (ILO) has adopted the “MaritimeLabour Convention 2006” (MLC 2006).
