automatically to the ship. I will send a requisition to the company if the Notice to Mariner is not being received.
46. What is the DCPA during passage, in fairways, in the strait, and inside ports?
At sea, the closest point of approach (DCPA) is two miles; in the strait, the shortest distance between the two ships is the new course distance. The safe anti-collision clearance between two vessels also depends on such factors as weather condition, the sizes of the two vessels and so on. 47. How do you treat the engine bilge water?
The engine bilge water can by no means be pumped out into the sea directly. If it has to be pumped out, it must be properly treated through the oily water separator.
If there is too much engine bilge water, the Chief Engineer will report it to me. I will then ask for instructions from the owner. With the owner’s approval and confirmation, the bilge water may be transferred into the fuel oil tank or ask for shore assistance.
48. Do you know something about the ILO? What is ILO 147? Do you have any experience with ITF? What is your policy in dealing with them and what is your company’s policy in dealing with them?
The ILO is the International Labour Organization and the ITF is the International Federation for Transport Workers.
90910381.doc Page 18 of 51
ILO Convention 147 is The Merchant Shipping (Minimum Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 147) (and its Protocol of 1996). This rule is made by the
International Labor Organization Conference. In this Convention, the minimum internationally acceptable labor standards for seamen in merchant ships are stipulated. Convention No. 147 requires the flag State to adopt minimum standards relating to safety, social security, and shipboard conditions of employment and living arrangements to be observed in merchant shipping registered under any flag.
It is very important to tell the seamen not to approach the ITF personnel actively. The Master should instruct his crew to answer the questions in accordance with the ship owner’s and the manning agent’s instructions if the ITF inspectors approach the vessel and talk with the crew. The Master himself should know very well the company’s policy in dealing with the ITF. Anyway, the Master and his crew should deal with them very cautiously so as to avoid any possible disputes for the ship owner. As a employee of the shipowner and the manning agent.
ILO和ITF是涉及到船员利益的两个国际组织，船长应对此有粗略的了解。 49. What should bridge orders include? What are the contents of the standing order and what are night orders?
