This is just a massage to seafarers.Million of seafarer in the world.Most of them are from Indonesia,India,and Philippine.
I have seen so many or may be too many seafarers suffer in the world.They have no power to the company.Ship's owner can do anything to them,and make money from them.Because they do not know their RIGHT.The worst is,they don't even have any agreement with the ship's owner.
If you know Indonesia,in Jakarta there is a port ,sunda kelapa.Seafarers who are working on board there,their salary is really nonsense.They have to leave their family,put their life in risk but what they earn is nonsense,i can say they earn only $US 40 or $US 50.compare it to what they have given to the company.
They have no power and they do not know their RIGHT.They just complain,but can not do anything.I'm pretty sure that cases like that happen around the world everywhere.
BUT........................
Now i let you know,YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
have you ever heard ITF?may be you know about them.but if you have not,
i let you know,YOU ARE NOT ALONE,BECAUSE..........THEY ARE WITH YOU!
You can ask them anything about working on board,about your right,about seamanship and any thing about seafarer and ship's owner.
They have representative around the world,even though some of them is useless..............just like in INDONESIA...................they do nothing...........that's KPI!
BUT..................DON'T WORRY.........................
