India: Employees to feel the pinch as major port trusts take a hit from charge waivers
Some of the Central government-owned major port trusts are weighing plans to introduce austerity measures targeting employees to tide over the revenue loss arising from the implementation of a Shipping Ministry directive to waive/defer a slew of charges levied on port users and cargo terminals in the wake of the pandemic.

Each of the ten state-owned ports where the Ministry directive is being enforced, would lose as much as ₹40 crore in revenue from such waiver and deferment of charges, according to an official with one of the major port trusts.

One of the financially struggling port trusts operating along the country’s western coast is seeking to cut back on the encashment of employees’ earned leave, leave travel concession (LTC) facility and even deferment of staff retirement benefits such as gratuity and pension commutation for three months....

Tomini calls for action on crew changes - Latest Maritime & Shipping News Online - The Maritime Standard
Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, seafarers are having to extend their service onboard ships after many months at sea, unable to be replaced following long tours of duty or return home, as flights to repatriate for onboard crew continue to be unavailable. Dubai-based Tomini Shipping says it is time for governments worldwide to take action.

According to Nitin Mehta, CEO, “The shipping industry needs governments to support our seafarers and aid their safe return home to their families, to be replaced with crew ready to continue to keep supply chains open. Shipping is vital to the maintenance of global supply chains, but the current situation is unsustainable for the safety and wellbeing of ships’ crews and the safe operation of vessels.”

Tomini believes that seafarers are “unrecognised heroes” who everyday throughout this COVID-19 crisis are going above and beyond the call of duty. Mehta adds, “The failure to acknowledge that seafarers are key workers will have a significant impact on the health and wellbeing of our crew as well as a detrimental impact on global trade. This is vitally important to the shipping industry as it facilitates the movement of 90% of the world’s goods.”

The Supreme Court of India has directed the Central government to take appropriate steps to get back over 11,800 Goan seafarers stranded in various parts of the world due to COVID-19 pandemic.

Intercargo: supply chain will break down without crew changes - Riviera Maritime Media
Intercargo, an organisation that represents dry bulk shipowners, called on the industry to recognise the importance of crew changes for seafarers in light of the ongoing pandemic

Intercargo chairman Dimitris Fafalios said crew change must be a top priority. In the absence of efficient crew changes, he said “the supply chain would break down, leading to basic product shortages and greater hardships for people around the world”.

Mr Fafalios echoed IMO’s opinion that seafarers are among the world’s key workers adding, “All maritime nations, ports and airports should, as a matter of urgency, permit the travel in/out and sign-on/off of seafarers with the necessary safety procedures allowing them to join from and repatriate to their countries of residence with seafarer’s documents and without visas, while the consulates are closed in the seafarers’ countries of residence.

The organisation said there are 300,000 seafarers in the bulk carrier industry alone and Intercargo vice chairman Jay K Pillai pointed out some seafarers have served their 4-9-month tour of duty but are unable to be relieved of duty even after serving 12 months or longer on board vessels....

Spain Allows Crew Changes - The Maritime Executive
Spain has legislated that seafarers are key workers in a move that aims to ensure their movement through Spanish ports.

A state of emergency was declared in Spain earlier this year, and it has subsequently been extended three times, remaining in force until May 10. The nation has been in lockdown, but following the IMO’s recommendation to ensure maritime transport and port operations during the COVID-19 pandemic and designate crew as key workers providing an essential service, the Spanish Transport Ministry approved the Order TMA/374/2020 on April 28.

The order establishes the documentation needed to allow seafarers to crew change in Spain and return to their home countries or to embark a vessel calling to a Spanish port. Seafarers will need to provide:

- Certificate of competency or proficiency or Seafarers identity document or Discharge book

- Employment agreement or Letter of appointment. This documentation will include, at least, the name of the vessel and her flag, port where the vessel is located and the estimated date of the embark / disembark.

The Spanish Ministry of Health reported on Saturday that the nation s COVID-19 death toll has risen above 25,000. The total number of positive cases reported now exceeds 216,000; this the highest number of cases in a European country, but authorities are beginning to loosen lockdown restrictions as the number of cases has believed to have peaked.

Royal Caribbean CEO agrees to the CDC�s terms for disembarking crew stuck on ships - Bradenton Herald
Royal Caribbean Cruises crew members who have felt imprisoned on cruise ships during a standoff between the company and the CDC might soon be emancipated, according to letters sent to employees Sunday from the CEOs of Royal Caribbean International and Celebrity Cruises obtained by the Miami Herald.

In an about face, Royal Caribbean’s Michael Bayley and Celebrity Cruises’ Lisa Lutoff-Perlo announced they would sign the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s terms for disembarking crew. The letters also detailed plans for getting crew members to their home nations.

After measures to limit the spread of COVID-19 slammed the cruise industry to a halt March 13, about 100,000 crew members remained stuck on ships as they meandered in and out of U.S. waters until they can be disembarked. The discovery of the novel coronavirus infections on the ships among crew caused on-board quarantines, sometimes trapping crew in cabins lacking fresh air, crew members told the Herald.

Royal Caribbean falsely blames CDC for keeping crew trapped on its ships, agency says - Miami Herald
Friday, cruise captains continued to mislead crew members stranded on cruise ships about their ability to go home.

In announcements on several Royal Caribbean ships, captains told crew members that a story published by the Miami Herald on Thursday was untrue, according to audio recordings obtained by the Miami Herald. That story said that cruise executives were refusing to sign agreements with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that would allow crew members to disembark and be repatriated.

In an interview Friday, an official from the CDC reiterated that it is allowing crew members to leave, provided cruise companies agree to CDC rules.

Around 100,000 crew members have been trapped on ships in and around U.S. waters since the industry shut down on March 13 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, including several U.S. citizens.
