Seafarers Fear There’s No Plan to Get Them Off Ships July 9, 2020 by Bloomberg Photo: nattanan726 / Shutterstock By K. Oanh Ha, Krystal Chia and Claire Jiao (Bloomberg) — Like thousands of other seafarers, Karika Neethling wanted to get home as the coronavirus pandemic convulsed the cruise industry in March. Her anxiety grew more desperate when she learned she was pregnant. But for nearly three months, the 27-year-old South African was caught in a web of border restrictions and corporate bureaucracy, shuttled on ships between ports in the Bahamas and Italy as her employer, MSC Cruises SA, worked to get its crews home. “I don’t think we were ever priorities,” said Neethling, who worked as a shop employee aboard the luxury liner the MSC Preziosa. “I was depressed and in despair thinking I might have this baby on the ship.” Neethling isn’t alone. While she’s finally home in...

Governments Back Urgent Action to Facilitate Seafarer Crew Changes July 9, 2020 by Mike Schuler Photo courtesy International Maritime Organization A group of governments from twelve countries have come together to pledge urgent action to resolve the crew change crisis that has emerged as a result of COVID-19 pandemic. In a joint statement presented Thursday during the virtual International Maritime Summit on Crew Changes, representatives from 12 countries expressed their deep concern about the current crisis and acknowledged that “the inability of ship operators worldwide to conduct ship’s crew changes is the single most pressing maritime operational challenge to the safe and efficient movement of global trade”. At least 200,000 seafarers are estimated to stranded on ships and awaiting repatriation amid government-imposed travel restrictions. This inability for routine crew changes has led to a growing humanitarian crisis in shipping, in addition to concerns that seafarer fatigue and mental health issues may...

Crew members of a ship docked in Rotterdam (Robin Utrecht via Getty Images) Amid the many consequences of the coronavirus pandemic, thousands of seafarers around the world are now locked onboard their ships with expired contracts and unable to get home. In a normal month, approximately 100,000 seafarers leave their ships and are replaced by others, but travel restrictions imposed by governments, as well as limitations on the availability of international airline flights, have meant that replacement crews cannot get to their ships and relieved crews are unable to get home. There are far-reaching implications of this situation for international trade. Big questions are involved. Is enough being done to look after international seafarers? Who has responsibility for...

Bangladesh: Incessant Delinquency In Inland Shipping And Role Of Marine Court July 7, 2020 By Sabrina Hasan* Being a riverine country and having a huge population, inland shipping which carries passengers and goods is a great source of economy in Bangladesh. As the mode of transportation is very popular, it requires a greater management system as so many risk factors lie within the transportation. The risk becomes evident from the records of inland shipping casualties as almost every year the country faces the loss of lives and damages of goods due to inland vessels’ accidents. To govern the inland shipping including the registry and other functioning, there are different governing bodies under the ministry of shipping which control, monitor and regulate the system. However, the question has always been there whether the system is sufficient enough to keep the inland marine transportation safe and regulate properly. Considering the news...
