Day of the Seafarer with Social Media Focus              联合国和IMO秘书长在第三个世界海员日呼吁各界人士认识全球150万名海员所做出的贡献…………

Monday, June 24, 2013

June 25th marks the third international Day of the Seafarer, an official United Nations observance day.

This year, IMO is celebrating the occasion with a
social media campaign calling on all supply chain partners, including those beyond the maritime sector, to help highlight the sheer diversity and scale of products used in everyday life that travel by sea, and to recognize the importance of the people that deliver them; more than 1.5 million seafarers.

In his annual Day of the Seafarer message, IMO Secretary-General Koji Sekimizu said, “Seafarers operate on the ‘front line’ of the shipping industry, and this year’s campaign theme, Faces of the Sea, aims to highlight the individuals that are often unseen, but who work to deliver more than 90% of the world’s goods. We will ask the seafarers themselves to show us snapshots of their daily life at sea, to give them a voice and share their story on a global stage, via social media”.

Mr. Sekimizu noted that 2013 is a landmark year for the seafaring community, as the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC 2006) enters into force in August. “This marks significant progress in the recognition of seafarers’ roles and the need to safeguard their well-being and working conditions,” he said.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon also highlighted the Day of the Seafarer, with a special message urging everyone to remember the contribution of seafarers to world trade and development. “On the Day of the Seafarer, I urge everyone to spare a thought for those courageous seafarers, men and women from all corners of the world, who face danger and tough working conditions to operate today’s complex, highly technical ships, every hour of every day of the year – and on whom we all depend,” he said.

New Requirements for Seafarers starting from 01.07.2013 

从今年71日开始 STCW公约要求培训单位和海员们应依条约提高驾台和机舵的管理…………

The 2010 Manila amendments to the STCW Convention constitute a comprehensive package of changes and have led to a number of new requirements. Some requirements have already entered into force; some become effective within a 5-year transition period. The next important date arises in the second half of 2013. Time for shipping companies to have another look at the amendments, to check if everything is in compliance and see what can be expected next.
One of the biggest challenges for shipping companies is the daily rest hour minimums. As the Maritime Labour Convention 2006 (MLC 2006) will come into force later than expected the strict guidelines relating to rest hours have already been put into place through the Manila Amendments to the STCW Convention. Although a big wave of port state control inspections has not yet happened, with the entry into force of the MLC 2006 on 20.08.2013 more tightened inspections can be expected.   
Another next important date is the 01.07.2013. From then all training institutes will have to implement the Manila amendments in their programme. This includes that nautical and technical officers are now obliged to increase their knowledge regarding Bridge and Engine Resource Management, Leadership and Teamworking Skills and Marine Environmental Awareness. The new competencies are part of the requirements of nautical and technical officers and will be trained as part of the nautical and ship operational apprenticeships in the seafarer schools.   
For seafarers the 5-year transition period through to 2017 will require some preparation. All of the new requirements will have to be included into the vocational training for officers. As an example for nautical officers the requirements for ECDIS training have been intensified and for technical officers new requirements regarding Medium Voltage Installations now apply. Those officers who seek to revalidate their certificate of competencies need to prove that they have obtained the new requirements by additional training. Flag States may endorse new CoC with restrictions, if said requirements have not been obtained.
With the Manila Amendments new standards for deck and engine ratings have also been adopted, which simply stated means means higher quality. If someone wishes to sail as an Able Seafarer Deck (AB Deck) or Able Seafarer Engine (AB Engine), he or she needs to be trained and educated according to the STCW standard. With this decision the IMO meets concerns in regards to the advancing technologies in thse areas and the need for focused training to improve safety on board ships.   
Being in compliance with the amendments
In order to be in compliance with the Manila amendments and the resulting requirements and to be in time with all changes GL Academy helps customers by offering courses covering all of these topics.
STCW  2010 Implementation Workshop
In this workshop participants will improve their expertise on the STCW Convention and Code and receive the theoretical knowledge and skills to implement the new requirements for ships’ crews, shipping companies as well as for shipping administrations and to ensure compliance. In practical case studies the participants will learn how to make the necessary adjustments to an existing management system and, with the use of the accompanying documentation and helpful tools, to ensure the implementation of the new requirements during daily routine.
Australia's Navigation Act contains new provision re MLC

Australia's new Navigation Act 2012 (Navigation Act) will come into force on 1 July 2013 and contains new provisions that point directly to the MLC.
Some matters, however, will only be fully regulated on the entry into force of the MLC. Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) is currently finalising a new Marine Order, titled: Marine Order 11 (Living and Working conditions on vessels) 2012. This Marine Order will come into force in parallel with the Navigation Act.
Marine Order 11 will contain two distinct parts. The first part addresses those components of the MLC that will be regulated on the entry into force of the Navigation Act.
This will include specific regulations about:
•    Accommodation and recreational requirements on board the ship
•    Medical care and facilities on-board and ashore, including access to dental care
•    Access to and use of sanitary and laundry facilities
•    Provision of free supplies of food and water and their storage and handling
•    The content of work agreements and their application (noting that vessel owners will be given until the entry into force of the MLC before these will be required)
•    Regulations governing rest breaks for seafarers
•    Repatriation arrangements
•    The inspection regime and certification (noting that vessel owners will be given until the entry into force of the MLC before this will be required)
•    Rights for younger seafarers

The second part will contain regulations that will come into effect on 20 August 2013:
•    Seafarer recruitment and placement services
•    Seafarer access to shore based welfare
•    The on-board and on-shore complaints handling procedures
