Good News
New DG Shipping in action.
Commitee formed to review Exam system, Ratings wages and Grievance Redressal.
My gut feeling says Year 2024 will see biggest reforms for Indian Seafarers ever by @shipmin_india
I suggest all officers on leave should consider completing IGF basic and advance courses as 60% of all yard deliveries are with dual fuel and IGF COP is mandatory to join these vessels
The whole process takes about a month to complete..

Shore Leave, speak less @shipmin_india
When we visit foreign ports which have that countries naval assests we are not denied shore leave stating security concerns. They take measures to enhance their dock safety and not deny shore leave to seafearers. Our System ???
Till around 2010, seafarers full wages used to start when they left their country for joining … now a days it’s only basic wages are given which are only 25%.
Why?? When
- I am providing my services from the day I left.
- ship delayed is not seafarer fault.

Thanks MMD Noida @dgship_goi for meeting heavy Rush of Indian Seafarers esp fm North India for BSID and Certificate of Competency Exams. Capt Poswal is helpful as I recd calls from 3 Seafarers today whose issue of Seatime was resolved timely allowing them to appear for Exams.
Inside Information from someone who is well respected in Industry but doesn't want to upset @shipmin_india
"Once in Sikka they took 50 cartons of Marlboro to enable sign off of 20 crew members during Covid. I was the master. Kandla ,Sikka the government officials are the worst".
Port Arrival in India. Master prepares:
200 page various printout of Crew List , Store, Self declaration etc.
Agents send email, Keep ready:
Whiskey, Cigarette cartons , Soft Drink & Beer cases.
Then NO SHORE LEAVE & all Seafarers confined onboard Ship. Jail days @shipmin_india
Let's shame all Indian Port Chairperson who abuse Indian Seafarers with NO SHORE LEAVE, NO CREW CHANGE and also help Officials to take Bribe from Ships.
Write your experiences on social media.

A point to discuss
When a Supt. joins a shore org. He is given company phone, unlimited calls, free data,ISD calls
While a seafarer working in the same company for last 20+ yrs has to pay even for internet data…
Why these double standards ?

Demand of Indian Seafarers is high on Tankers. Recently noted the lowering of Crew Wages in China and some Bulk Carriers / Containers being grabbed by Chinese crew.
Many Ukranian Seafarers staying in Europe and getting jobs with European Owners.
जिन लोगों ने ट्रक और टेम्पो के पीछे बेटी बचाओ लिखा है, क्या उन तक ख़बर पहुँचेगी कि जंतर-मंतर पर क्या हुआ है? क्या कल अख़बारों के पहले पन्ने पर दोनों तस्वीरें होगी या मैनेज हो जाएगा? नई संसद में ब्रजभूषण सिंह झक सफ़ेद कुर्ते में हैं और जंतर मंतर पर लड़कियाँ सड़क पर घसीटीं जा रही हैं। 28 मई ऐतिहासिक दिन है!

There's big interest in Indian Seafarers by Big players. Good for India.
It's because of top quality Master Mariners and Chief Engineers that India is becoming new destination for Ship Management. No support from Indian Govt but the Shipping Entrepreneurs bringing thousands of jobs and million dollars deal to India.
