  • 1 Flags of Convenience and the Need for International Co-Operation Dr Z
    Flags of Convenience and the Need for International Co-operation Dr Z OYA ÖZÇAYIR Maritime Law Consultant and a member of the IMO Roster of Experts and Consultants International Maritime Law, Vol. 7, Issue 4, May 2000, pp. 111-117. In General The history of flags of convenience dates back to the Roman Empire, but it was not until after World War II that the desire and the need to be competitive in the world shipping markets gave rise to the spectacular growth in the use of such flags. Obviously the reasons for registering a ship in a flag of convenience country vary from one owner to another. Today the primary reason for flags of convenience is to obtain cost economies and stay competitive in the industry. In a maritime company all decisions are taken in order to achieve the common goal of minimising private costs and maximising private revenue. Therefore, it is not possible for a shipowner to choose a flag without considering the fiscal advantages. It is believed that taking part in competition in the market has great importance for a shipowner when considering open registry. On the basis of the history of flags of convenience and present practice, everybody involved in shipping practice knows that the flags of convenience system will continue to exist. It is time for the opponents of this system to find a different solution rather than trying to get rid of the system. After the transfer of American ships to the Panamanian and Honduras flags organised labour opposition to flags of convenience began in the 1930s.

  • Engine Cadets with and Without Additional Training on Training Vessel – Competences Comparison Case Study
    Journal of KONES Powertrain and Transport, Vol. 26, No. 3 2019 ISSN: 1231-4005 e-ISSN: 2354-0133 DOI: 10.2478/kones-2019-0058 ENGINE CADETS WITH AND WITHOUT ADDITIONAL TRAINING ON TRAINING VESSEL – COMPETENCES COMPARISON CASE STUDY Piotr Kamiński, Adam Charchalis Gdynia Maritime University Faculty of Marine Engineering Morska Street 81-87, 81-225 Gdynia, Poland tel.:+48 58 5586 307, +4858 5586 347 e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract In the last decade evolution of the requirements for training and professional competences of ship’s crewmembers, including ship engineers can be observed. Despite the implementation of training programs according to IMO requirements in maritime training centres, a different level of competence of young people beginning their professional career on ships in the engine department is observed. The article discusses general conventions, goals, and effects of the "BS Cadet Program" training program, introduced by one of the larger German ship-owner to improve the competencies of crewmembers at the operational level, who will take duties of the watch engineer in the ship engine room soon. General idea of this training program is reducing the time of the path career what is a standard in most shipping companies. Such idea in this program is utilised by directly merging theoretical knowledge with professional practice on special prepared training vessel. The work present also comparison of the acquired knowledge verification results of training participants with the results of engine cadets from last semester of the UMG Faculty of Engineering. The comparison includes computer exercises of Marine equipment and machineries (UNITEST Company – CBT) also genera ship and engine room knowledge checked by written test called “Final Test” carried out on the end of 3 months training.
