INTERMANAGER, the international trade association for the ship management sector, is calling on shipping industry colleagues to contribute to a new campaign to highlight the issue of the criminalization of seafarers.
InterManager is concerned at the increasingly harsh treatment of ships' crew in some parts of the world and is actively participating in industry discussions to identify the depth of the problem and address seafarers' concerns.The association plans to collate statistics on criminalization incidents, which it will share with the International Maritime Organization and other shipping industry stakeholders.
However, the association knows of 118 cases of criminalization but suspects there are many more. Senior officers are most at risk of criminalization,' it said.Statistics collected by InterManager so far reveal that in 63 percent of cases, the ship's master was imprisoned. Tanker crew represents the most frequent vessel type in which arrests occurred , followed by bulk carriers and general cargo vessels .
