INTRODUCTION: This paper attempts to examine shipping from a different perspective than the ones which one most probably has been seen in most other papers. It sig­ nifies the importance of human labour in shipping as in all other fields of present day business industries. It intends to get into the "pros" and "cons" of regulation versus non-regulation and their impact on the general operation of ships in relation to its labour conditions. The various efforts that have been made to standardise the international maritime situation in the fields of Management, Administration, Labour Economics, Labour Union, Maritime Law and P o licies and advance in technology and their impact on social conditions would be main areas of this discussion. An important point worth mentioning is that although maritime labour in general, may include ship-building labour, stevedoring, port labour (dockers) and/or fishermen this paper emphasizes particularly on matters relating to seafarers; especially sea going ship personnel only. The glory of the past, the rapidly changing present day technological advancement and the undefined future with a high probability of phasing- out of the seafaring profession will be discussed in detail taking into consideration and paying special attention as to the present status of ship-operation in relation to the shipping policies exercised by state administration and governments on areas of: - Registration of ships and their impact on labour. - Port-state control vis-a-vis flag state control. - Labour unions role. - Manning of v essels. - Training and certification of seafarers; and - The STCW, 1978 Convention. - 2 - Shipping as a phase of production, is indispensable to economic progress and military strength which is confined to government policies. This being the main vehicle of international trade is a major economic tool playing a significant role regarding the balance of paynents o f a country. Sir Walter Raleigh in History of the World, 1616, has clearly shown the impor­ tance of shipping in this famous excerpt; "Whosoever commands the sea commands trade; whosoever commands the trade of the world commands the riches of the World, and consequently the world itself." (1) The safe adm inistration and management of shipping companies, be i t governmental or private, is a major concern of governments to maintain this balance. The micro-policies of these lines which might be different depending upon the areas of the trade they are engaged in should be regulated to have conformity with the macro-policies of the State and the National interest. Safety is the object of any good administrative function which shipowners, ship-operators, governments and the world community as a whole take great interest in. The safety of vessels, crew, as well as the marine environ­ ment is the concern of governments and international organizations in which certain requirements have been set up to be met where shipowners sometimes find it difficult to implement for economic reasons. This has to a certain extent created disparities and new interests in the registration of ships under foreign flags which has created areas of discussion in the Interna­ tional fora. The need for transporting goods and experiences from one corner of the world to the other covering wider areas of state administra­ tions with different political, economic and jurisdictional rights calls - 3 - forth for international cooperation and the set-up of reasonable working conditions despite the differences creating new frontiers of International ft Law jn the maritime field. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) as the name implies takes the lead role in working together with United Nations Organizations and other governmental bodies in order to set-up a reasonable working condi­ tion at the International level. With its motto "Safe Ships & Clean Oceans" IMO has passed several recommendations and conventions in the administrative as well as in the constructional safe ty measures to fulfill its objectives. Those international United Nations Organizations and other organs with which IMO closely works in the maritime field are the International Labour Organization (I.L.O.), United Nations Confrarence on Trade and Development (U.N.C.T.A.D.), World Health O rganization (W.H.O.), International Transport Workers Federation (I.T.F.), Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (O.E.C.D.), and Seamen's Church Institute.-Center for Seafarer's Rights contribute a lot for the develop­ ment of this international cooperation. These international organizations and agencies are seeking ways and means to set-up favourable working conditions taking into account the capital intensive nature of ship- operation and the need for safety precautions.

  • A Written Entrenched Constitution for the United Kingdom – All of It and Parts of It
    A Written Entrenched Constitution for the United Kingdom – all of it and parts of it. Delivered on Friday 7th November 2014 at the National Library of Wales by Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth Section A – Aberystwyth It is a great pleasure to be here this evening Mr President. My first trip to Aberystwyth was actually to take up my University place in the Law Department. I had not been before. I made the train journey from my home in Essex via London, and after changing trains at Shrewsbury, it seemed that each town I visited was smaller than the one I had just left. By the time I got to Borth I was seriously worried that I was going to be placed in a large village rather than a cosmopolitan town. I needn’t have worried; Aberystwyth’s spell was woven over me within minutes of my arrival. Actually I was staying in nearby Bow Street – almost by accident. My parents, in organising my accommodation, had not unreasonably believed that somewhere with a name Bow Street, Aberystwyth, with its echoes of Sir Robert Peel’s runners and an urban property in the game of Monopoly would be in the centre of the town. It was not to be. I finally reached Bow Street by bus and was then taken on to Mrs Mort’s digs by a kind resident. The kindness was an auspicious start. I remember during the journey to Aberystwyth that I was reading two books – I have had a lifelong love affair with books. One was Robert Markham, or Kingsley Amis as he was better known writing the latest Bond book ‘Colonel Sun’.
