Justice for seafarers?


A worrying indictment of the plight of seafarers has been delivered by a 
far-reaching survey of the experiences of seafarers facing criminal charges 
with seafarers complaining of unfair treatment, intimidation and a lack of 
legal representation and interpretation services. 
The survey by international legal research centre Seafarers' Rights 
International (SRI) of 3,480 seafarers in the 12 months to the end of February 
2012 was conducted in eight languages, with responses returned from 18 
countries and 68 different nationalities of seafarers. 
Of the seafarers surveyed, 8% had faced criminal charges; 4% had been witnesses 
in criminal prosecutions, while 33% knew of colleagues who had faced criminal 
charges. Almost 24% of masters in the survey had faced criminal charges. 
Questions in the survey specifically asked about the experiences of seafarers 
who had faced criminal charges. 44% of seafarers reported that they were bodily 
searched. 87% who faced charges relating to the discharge of their professional 
duties said that they did not have legal representation; 91% of seafarers who 
needed interpretation services said that they were not provided with such 
services; and 89% of seafarers who had faced criminal charges said that they 
did not have their rights explained to them. 
Seafarers were also specifically asked about their perceptions. 80% who had 
faced criminal charges felt intimidated or threatened. 
Concerning casualty inquiries and accident investigations, 46% of seafarers who 
answered the question said that they would be reluctant to cooperate fully and 
openly with such inquiries. Reasons expressed included: "The information that I 
would provide might be used against me"; "I would fear incriminating myself"; 
"Anything you say can be used as evidence against you". 
Overall, 81% of seafarers who faced criminal charges did not consider that they 
had received fair treatment.
To gain a broader view of criminal charges faced by seafarers, SRI also carried 
out a review of all incidents involving criminal charges against seafarers 
reported in Lloyd's List, TradeWinds and Fairplay, for the 12 year period from 
2000 – 2011. There were 415 incidents reported in this period, involving 1,580 
seafarers. Significantly over the period under review, the numbers of maritime 
criminal incidents and the numbers of detained seafarers showed a tendency to 
increase.
"The voices of seafarers are expressing real fears and concerns over criminal 
charges and it must be in the interests of the whole maritime industry that 
these are addressed and seafarers adequately protected. The prospect of 
criminal charges is daunting for any human being, whether in your own country, 
or even more so in a foreign country, and so for seafarers entering foreign 
ports on a daily basis, the risks are high and the consequences can be dire if 
fair and due process is not followed," said Deirdre Fitzpatrick, SRI Executive 
Director.
She added: "We hope that the results of this survey will provide momentum for 
increased efforts to ensure fair treatment of seafarers, whether innocent or 
guilty of a criminal charge, and that from this survey, the faces and the 
voices of the seafarers will be seen clearly and heard loudly".
