USCG 'getting it wrong' on shore leave.
(From Lloyds List)
Byline: Advisory group wants relevant US regulation rewritten to make it consistent with ISPS Code, writes Rajesh Joshi in New York
MISINTERPRETATION by the US Coast Guard of shore leave provisions enshrined in the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code is inflicting hardship on foreign seafarers calling at US terminals, a maritime advisory group has declared.
The Merchant Mariner Personnel Advisory Committee, or Merpac, has asked the USCG to rewrite the relevant US regulation to make it consistent with the ISPS Code.
US officials also need to take other active measures to ensure that seafarers' right to shore leave is protected in the US, Merpac insists.
Specifically it wants a formal shore leave provision enshrined in the Coast Guard Authorisation Act for 2008, which is to come up for finalisation in both chambers of Congress.
There are 'gross inconsistencies' in how shore leave is now allowed across the US, Merpac has alleged.
