ELEMENTS OF MARITIME LAW
• LABOUR LAW
• SOLAS
• STCW
• MARPOL
• CLASSIFICATION SOCIETY
• MARINE SAFETY
• CARRIAGE OF GOOD
STCW - introduction
• IMO- Safety of ship., equipment and standards of
seafarer

of guidance document and education and training
through a joint committee
• SOLAS- Government to take practical steps to
ensure comprehensive and satisfactory training
and education in the use of navigation aid, ships
equipments and use of safety devices including
devices for prevention , detection and extinction of
fire.
• STCW- 1975,1977 and 1985 amendment and draft
recommendation
• World Maritime University
1978 convention
• Variation in standards and implementation
technique
• First attempt towards establishment of minimum
professional standards
• Attended by 72 countries – considered the largest
at that time
• Passed through conventional method of 25
countries holding 50 percent of merchant fleets.
• Finally accepted by 114 countries holding 95% of
world fleets.
• Expectation towards highest competency standards
STCW 78 Convention
• Technical provision of the convention are
divided into six chapters:
Chapter I - General provisions- Definition and
control
Chapter II - Master deck department
Chapter III - Engine department radio department
Chapter IV - Radio Equipments
Chapter V - Special requirements for tankers

++ Resolution 1- 23
Ineffectiveness of 1978 convention
the following are factors that undermined
Ineffectiveness of STCW 78:
• Lack of precision in standards – I.e.
recommendation of minimum seatime and
specific knowledge without defining the skill and
competency required.
• Other factors that undermined STCW 78 include:
crew reduction , faster turn – around , more
frequent crew changes and the mix of different
education and training background resulting
from multinational manning
• Challenges of fast changes in maritime economy
and , expertise , traditional organization duties
and responsibilities and fleets expansion
ISSUES
• Loss of reliability
• Loss of credibility of the convention
• Political and public concern and criticism
regarding human factors as related to disaster
• Claim about IMO Ineffectiveness and un
responsive to safety need and protection of
marine environment from accidental pollution
•
IMO response and resolution
Setting up of working group subcommittee to organize
Diplomatic accelerated conference on comprehensive
review that will deal with :
• Strengthening maritime administration
• Strengthening maritime education and training capabilities
– especially developing countries
• Empower MSC to assess government performance
through standards reporting system
• Recognize importance of training , education and
experience
• Promotion of intergovernmental technical cooperation to
facilitate assistance for weaker nations
• Empower world Maritime University to take leading role in
transfer of education and knowledge through networking of
advance training establishment.
**Ease of acceptance reflected the quality of preparatory
work
