"Madam President, when the
sank, it was the fault of the ship’s age, the single hull, the Indian crew and the Maltese flag. When the
sank, it was relatively young, it had a double hull, a crew from the European Community and it was flying the Italian flag. It is enough to confuse anybody! Our citizens understand even less well.
I believe that our reports contain a weakness, in that they do not sufficiently discuss the seafarers and the men on board ship. More than 80 of accidents are associated with human error, but there are reasons for human error, which are social in nature. Naturally, the training of the crews is important, but it must be checked and this can only be carried out by the port state. Inspectors must check not only the condition of the ship but also the shipboard social conditions.
Is Convention 147 of the ILO which, amongst other things, obliges port states to reinforce measures aimed at protecting the interests of seamen in terms of their health and safety, their working conditions and their union rights, being correctly enforced? As for the Paris Memorandum of Understanding, I believe it would be useful to amend it in such a way as to make inspections of the shipboard social conditions systematic and effective. I believe that the issue of maritime safety will not be over until we have talked about the seamen."@en1
