摘要:在中国船员劳务会议上,一发言人建议‘流氓’船员黑名单制度将会有助于提高中国船员的国际声誉。
A WATCHLIST of rogue seafarers would help improve discipline and the reputation of Chinese ratings and officers among international shipowners and shipmanagers, a Chinese manning conference has been told.
Speaking at the Seafarers China conference on Friday, Y C Tao, head of
Capt Tao did not explain who should compile or run a watchlist, but believed action should be taken against the “bad eggs”.
He said they give a bad impression about Chinese seafarers as they move around the industry after leaving or being dismissed from company after company.
He thought maritime training institutes should continue the military training that started in school to help instill discipline, loyalty and good behaviour among ratings and cadets before they joined an owner or shipmanager.
Capt Tao said figures show there has been a steady increase in the number of maritime graduates from 3,815 in 2003 to 5,394 in 2005. But the percentage of Chinese seafarers employed on foreign-owned vessels had not kept pace with the growth in the number of graduates.
Out of 1.4m
He added that while English languages skills had improved dramatically over the last few years more needed to be done.
Dalian Maritime University deputy president Sun Yuqing agreed, saying that not only was the university developing textbooks in English but it welcomed more input from owners and managers on how to improve seafarer training.
Hong Kong Shipowners’ Association managing director Arthur Bowring said “one of the defining moments” is when a maritime university listens to owners and shipmanagers.
Prof Sun added that the university, the world’s largest maritime training college, has a training ship under construction, which would join the university’s 11-strong training fleet.
SOB! why don't they establish a so-called watchlist of rogue ship owners, managers, brokers? why don't they suggest a union which truely protect the interest of the seafarers.
为什么好多欧美的船东不来中国招船员?除了一些客观原因,比如法律,语言等外, 因为有人不愿意看到国内的公司受冲击,因为他们不愿意和国内的人贩子同流合污剥削人.1999年丹麦一家大公司准备和中远劳务签合同长期雇容中国船员,据说三副给到1600美元,条件是工资由船上直接支付给船员,而中远劳务死活不同意,坚持船东付给中远劳务,由中远劳务再付给船员,最后没谈成. 老外很精,船员拿到1600美元如何工作与被中介扒皮后的工作热情决然不同 . 其他不说了!
