A dangerous precedent: failures in enforcing regulations are putting seafarers' lives at risk
Nautilus has previously reported on how some seafarers are illegally being denied their Maritime Labour Convention rights to crew relief and repatriation during the coronavirus pandemic.
Now we turn to further violations of international treaties, highlighting Port State Control failures to enforce safety and security regulations that could lead to unsafe ships returning to our waters, both in the months to come and longer-term. Helen Kelly reports.
We now need to restart ship inspections so that we can be sure the regulations that were put in place for a reason are being complied with
