Mahkamah khas industri maritim perkapalan

09:22 MALAYSIAN SEAFARER, MARITIME NEWS, SEAFARER LOVE No Comments

PENUBUHAN mahkamah khusus bagi menyelesaikan kes sivil berkaitan industri maritim, baru-baru ini, mampu memacu pertumbuhan agresif dalam sektor perkapalan negara, kata Timbalan Menteri Pengangkutan, Datuk Abdul Rahim Bakri.

Beliau berkata, penubuhan mahkamah itu adalah inisiatif khas kerajaan bagi memastikan industri perkapalan tempatan kekal relevan dan berdaya saing pada peringkat antarabangsa.

Katanya, pelbagai isu dan kerugian pihak industri dapat dielakkan apabila sesuatu kes berlaku di perairan negara dapat diselesaikan dengan segera tanpa perlu menunggu giliran di mahkamah sivil seperti sebelum ini.

“Sektor perkapalan menjadi nadi pengangkutan perdagangan antarabangsa yang mewakili 95 peratus, justeru kerajaan bersedia menyediakan asas baik dan menarik kepada pihak industri bagi memastikan negara mencapai pertumbuhan baik, manfaat daripada potensi ini.

“Antaranya menerusi komitmen mewujudkan integriti dalam industri ini kerana sebarang kelewatan membabitkan perundangan sivil di perairan ini akan menyebabkan kapal tidak beroperasi dan ia akan mendatangkan pelbagai masalah dan kerugian kepada pihak pengusaha serta kerajaan,” katanya selepas merasmikan Pameran dan Persidangan Maritim dan Logistik Asia Keenam 2010 di Kuala Lumpur, semalam.

Sementara itu, Abdul Rahim berkata, kerajaan menyasarkan isu lebihan kapal berbanding permintaan akibat krisis ekonomi, baru-baru ini, akan selesai dalam tempoh satu hingga dua tahun lagi.

Katanya, berdasarkan petunjuk ekonomi negara pengeluar dunia semakin memberangsangkan disokong pemulihan kuasa besar ekonomi.
“Kerajaan menyedari krisis ekonomi dunia telah menjejaskan syarikat perkapalan di Malaysia dan juga Asia, namun sasaran keluar dari kesan krisis ini adalah optimistik berdasarkan kepada pengeluar antarabangsa yang bersedia meningkatkan eksport mereka,” katanya.

Pengerusi Persatuan Pemilik Kapal Malaysia (MASA), Ir. Nordin Mat Yusoff, berkata walaupun tempahan pengangkutan perkapalan global terus menunjukkan penurunan kepada 7,495 kapal pada awal September lalu, iaitu nilai terendah sejak 2006, beberapa negara utama dalam industri sudah mula bangkit memperoleh tempahan baru.

Katanya, negara seperti Korea Selatan, Jepun dan China dilaporkan sudah pulih untuk menerima tempahan perkhidmatan baru khususnya bagi kapal jenis kontena dan tangki yang akan memberi kesan pengurangan tawaran perkhidmatan dalam tempoh tiga tahun bermula 2012.

Malaysian Seafarers: The Need for Policy Review

19:15 MALAYSIAN SEAFARER No Comments

Introduction

Shortage of Malaysian seafarers to man Malaysian ships has been a long standing issue. The association of Malaysian professional seafarers IKMAL noted a drop from 77% Malaysian seafarers on Malaysian ships in 1994 to only about 50% in 2001 (Jaffar Lamri, President IKMAL. Personal Communication 8 June 2004). This is substantiated by a study done by the Maritime Institute of Malaysia (MIMA), a research institute under the Ministry of Transport Malaysia (Noor Apandi, 2001). Apart from the obvious reason as the driving force for the shipping sector, sea experience is also relevant to many of the shore based jobs in the maritime industry. The maritime industry includes manufacturing, that is, ship building, resource extraction, that is, gas, services, that is, ports, fisheries and shipping, etc (Mak and Nesathurai, 2000). A study published by Marine Policy in 1999 identifies more than 20 business categories where seafaring experience is considered as an advantage by employers (Gardner and Pettit, 1999). As the industry grows so will the need for human resources. Therefore, it is important to have an adequate supply of trained and experienced manpower pool to feed these requirements.

This paper will revisit this issue with the aim to establish the current seafarer profile serving on Malaysian ships; identify issues, problems and possible solutions to increase the number of Malaysian seafarers.

Malaysian shipping

Development of the Malaysian shipping industry is the result of a national policy which emphasises a greater self sufficiency in shipping services (WTO, 2002). It is aimed at reducing outflow of freight payments to non-national shipping lines. In line with this, the government felt that there is a necessity to promote the growth of a national merchant fleet. As a result, the Malaysian shipping fleet continues to expand, as illustrated in the statistics compiled by the Ministry of Transport, Malaysia (Malaysian Shipping Registry). According to these, from a total of 3,033 ships in 1999, the fleet has grown to 3,582 ships, or 18%, by 2003.

Table 1 lists the type and number of ships registered in Malaysia from 1982 to August 2003 (MOT et al., 2003).

Table 1 - Ships registered in Malaysia from 1992 to 2003.

Malaysian maritime traning

There are 13 institutes in Malaysia, approved by the Marine Department (MARDEP), which provide seafarers training (Marine Department of Malaysia, 2004). Only two of these provide training to new entrants: Maritime Academy Malaysia (ALAM) for cadets and ratings, and Politeknik Ungku Omar (PUO) for engine cadets only. The remaining 11 institutions only provide modular courses that are required by the industry, for example, fire fighting, survival, communication and security courses. These modular courses are mandatory short courses that seafarers must take in addition to their main curriculum in order to comply with STCW 95 and to maintain their professional certification.

Almost all maritime trainees in Malaysia are sponsored from the moment that they are accepted for training. The trainees are then bonded to service their sponsors. Sponsors include shipping companies, ports and government agencies.

In 2001, it was found that not many youngsters are applying to join the seafaring career. In 2004, there is a complete reversal with ALAM receiving more than 10,000 applications for 200 available places (ALAM, 2004). The main reason for this is likely to be the success of promotion of seafaring career by ALAM and the industry.

However, the number of those accepted does not increase correspondingly due to various reasons. Chief among these is the fact that there is a decline in sponsorship for cadets, and difficulty in finding berth for training and employment on board ships (Zainal, 2004). The difficulty in finding berth for training is experienced by non-ship-owning sponsors and self-sponsored trainees. Practical training on board is essential as part of the process for certification. Those unable to obtain berth for training on board will therefore not be able to continue their certification process. For example, a cadet who does not go through practical training on board ship will not be able to move on to become an officer.

MIMA's 2004 seafarer survey

In order to obtain the current profile of seafarers serving on Malaysian ships, survey questionnaires were sent to more than 200 companies identified as shipping companies in Malaysia. These companies were selected using the Malaysian Maritime Directory, members list from Malaysian Ship-owners Association (MASA) and MIMA's correspondence list. Telephone calls were made to further confirm their nature of business. The companies involved range from a national shipping company operating hundreds of ships, to a one-ship company. The sample covers those engaged in international, domestic and near coastal trade.

The questionnaire used for the survey is divided into four sections. Section one gathers information about the company, section two about the ships managed or owned by the company, section three about the seafarers employed by the company and section four on employment and training.

2004 seafarer survey result

The survey was conducted in the first quarter of 2004. A total of 215 questionnaires were sent by fax and mail and were followed up by telephone calls in an effort to obtain response. In total, 51 shipping companies responded (response rate 24%). Two of these were excluded from the analysis as they are no longer managing or operating ships.

The remaining 49 Malaysian shipping companies control among them a total of 355 ships. A total of 5,084,872 gross registered tonnes was recorded by this survey. In comparison, the official statistics of Malaysian registered ships, up to August 2003, records 7,308,308 tonnes (MOT et al., 2003). Thus, the survey covers 70% of the GRT recorded in the Malaysian registry. The survey in addition shows that a small number of companies control a large number of ships.

Out of 355 ships, 179 were engaged in international trade, 94 engaged in domestic trade and 82 operated in near coastal trade.

A total of 12,755 seafarers were employed on these ships. The breakdown according to rank and department is provided in Table 2.

Table 2 - Distribution of seafarers involved in the survey.

Full table (13K)

In total, there are only 4,894 Malaysian seafarers (38%) currently serving on Malaysian ships involved in this survey. It should also be noted that this includes more than 3,000 foreign seafarers serving in the hotel/entertainment sector on cruise ships. Since seafarers serving in this sector have different training and certification requirements, they are excluded from the analysis of the profile of Malaysian seafarers.

To make up the remaining manpower requirements on those ships, seafarers from various nationalities are employed. More than 40 nationalities were identified, including Americans, Lithuanians and Yugoslavs, with substantial numbers coming from China, India, Indonesia and the Philippines.

To better portray the situation, the statistics is further broken down to focus on officers/engineers and crew/ratings in order to see clearly the number of Malaysian or foreign seafarers employed on Malaysian ships.

There are thus 2,267 Malaysian seafarers representing 51% of the total manning needs for officers and engineers on these ships. The requirement for the remaining 49% was met utilising the services of foreign seafarers.

As regards crew/ratings, there are 2,554 Malaysians, representing 53% of the total requirement. The remaining 47% is fulfilled by foreign seafarers. This excludes those employed as hotel/entertainment staff (73 Malaysian and 3,361 foreigners) on cruise ships.In general, all legal matters relating to shipping are covered under the Merchant Shipping Ordinance (MSO) of 1952. This applies to Malaysian ships, licensed boats and other merchant ships navigating in federal territorial waters (Marine Department of Malaysia, 2004). The MSO covers issues ranging from registry of ships to certification of seamen and includes various other shipping-related activities such as pilotage and wreck and salvage.

Seafarers, apart from the requirements outlined by the MSO, must also adhere to the requirements of rules made pursuant to Section 71 of the MSO. These rules, titled as 'The Merchant Shipping Rules, 1999' cover manning, hours of work and watch keeping; medical examination; and training and certification. The MSO and merchant shipping rules stipulate that companies must ensure that seafarers in their employ hold appropriate certificates in relation to their job function on the ship.

Companies wishing to engage in domestic shipping must comply with the requirements of the domestic shipping license, which is regulated by the Domestic Shipping Licensing Board under direct purview of the Ministry of Transport Malaysia. This is the only regulation that specifically requires companies to make an effort to employ at least 75% Malaysian citizens as crew on their ship.

Incentives for malaysia shipping

The shipping industry in Malaysia has been enjoying a generous tax incentive scheme. The incentives include tax exemption for the income of a shipping company derived from the operation of Malaysian ships, and this also applies to the income of any person derived from exercising an employment on board a Malaysian ship (MIDA, 2004).

Apart from tax exemption, the Government, through Bank Industri & Teknologi Malaysia, provides the industry with an RM1 billion shipping provident fund.

Consolidating the facts

Judging by the shipping registry records, Malaysian shipping is expanding. The numbers of Malaysian seafarers are not increasing corresponding to this. Training institutions are getting more applications than ever but have to limit new entrants as there is difficulty in finding berth for training and employment on board ships. There is no specific requirement for Malaysian content on Malaysian ships apart from the Domestic Shipping Licensing Board requirements. Shipping has been enjoying tax exemptions and access to funds.

Concluding remarks

Malaysian shipping has been and is still relying on the services of foreign seafarers to man its ships. In 2001, a MIMA study on this issue pointed out the problem of attracting new entrants to the industry. Promotion of career at sea is advocated to overcome this problem. After 3 years, the problem evolved. It was reported by maritime training institutions that they now have more than 10,000 applicants for a limited number of training places. The bottleneck is identified as the lack of sufficient berths for practical training on board ships. The onus is now on Malaysian shipping companies to show their support in overcoming this problem. According to the 2004 survey, 90% of them say that it is important to have Malaysian seafarers on Malaysian ships, only 43% are training/planning to train cadets, and only 49% are willing to provide berths for training based on a case-to-case basis.

Malaysian government's policy to promote its shipping sector seems to have succeeded; however, the only highlight with respect to human resources is the requirement of its Domestic Shipping License Board (DSLB). Shipping companies applying for domestic shipping license claim that they are unable to find suitable Malaysian seafarers while the training institutions say that their graduates are awaiting berth (Saripah Abd Mutalib, Ministry of Transport, Personal Communication, 18 March 2004). For all intent and purpose, both might be true statements. There are Malaysian seafarers trained and qualified but as far as shipping companies are concerned it is more convenient to man, their ships through agencies supplying complete manning requirements, that is, from the Philippines or Indonesia rather than selecting individual Malaysian officers or crew.

To remedy this situation, Malaysia will need to review her policy on shipping and integrate human resource development within the industry's framework. There is a need to tie up tax incentives or access to funds to training new entrants to the industry. A good example would be the UK Tonnage Tax regime, which clearly identifies training to be one of its requirements (Brownrigg et al., 2001).

Crew Article Online

10:55 MALAYSIAN SEAFARER 1 Comment

Malaysia Flag Ship can now do crew sign on/off through online. How wonderful is that?

But, in order to familiarize with the system it sure need practice and knowledge on how to operate the system in orderly manner so that we can eliminate the unforeseen circumstances that will definitely delay our operation.

what are the information that we need to know?

1. To buy the e-articleofagreement serial number and transaction PIN, we only need to know the ship official number (off. no.).

1.1 Click here to Buy PIN online

Remember, now, when you select the Port Office at this stage you have chosen this port office as your focal point for every approval online, regardless of where the vessel might be and where the crew to sign-on/off.

Remember, whenever you want to do sign-on/off, select the same port office you did for purchasing the PIN.

*if you don't what will happen? "DELAYED" keep this in mind, will you.

1.2 Click here to Activate Crew Agreement

Again, select the port office you did for purchasing the PIN. This is unique number that lock to the port office and ship official number. A system design for control and monitoring.

2. Remember ONE PORT OFFICE (1PO) as the concept of one Malaysia, this port office will be you focal point of approval for that particular ship-with-unique-off.-no, anytime, anywhere.

Here are some checklist for you to follow-up;

Ship Official Number :

Port Office PIN purchased :

Crew Agreement Serial No.:

Port Office Crew Agreement Activated:

Agreement Plying Limit (DOM/NC/UL):

Date of Crew Agreement Activated:

Date of Crew Agreement Expiry:

Remaining PIN:

After you have log-in crew agreement online, firstly fill up the requirement of ship crew agreement particulars. After that activate it. Remember to always check the PORT OFFICE before you click the activation button. Next, print-out the agreement information, there are 11 pages of them, you might want to save it as soft-copy or PDF format. Simply go to option, select PDF format and save.

Secondly, click Crew List

At this page, whatever reflected in here is actually as in the Safe Manning Document. so make sure that you make arrangement accordingly.

At this stage, if you are using Safe Manning Document with DOMESTIC plying limit, and you got some rank as Assistant Watchkeeping in that manning, make sure to engage Malaysian-WKR deck/engine to be on-board as a Assistant-Watchkeeping. Because the system have identified that other than Malaysian-WKR will not be able to sign-on. But rest assured, the system allow other than Malaysian-WKR to work as Assistant-Watchkeeping for Safe Manning Document plying for Near Coastal & Unlimited Voyage.

On that page, always look for the related symbol... for example, GREEN-MAN or BLUE-MAN

that colour will tell had you fulfill the manning minimum requirement. For you to Add Crew, i found that this system actually has been simplified to a 'friendly user' method. By inserting the seafarer's registered number or known as seaman card number, it will shows the qualification (capacities) of that seafarer. Then select relevant capacities that seafarer have to be positioned in the manning requirement, as easy as that.

Remember-during Sign-ON, make sure you select the RIGHT currency, either USD/MYR/SGD... and type in the RIGHT wages/salary. Because at this point is very crucial... once the Marine Department have approved it, it deem to be legal and fit and you cannot change it according to your convenience.

Remember-during Sign-OFF, to select the PORT OFFICE the crew are to sign-on/off, it might no be the same port office you enter through online. Balance salary must be fill-in because the seafarer must endorse that the master/company have pay-in full and there is no-outstanding wages.

Everytime you do sign-on/off a document must be printed for signing by the Master and seafarer. This agreement document normally will be inspected by Port State Control Officer or any relevant authority . Make sure to keep it on-board for inspection.
