Master's Guide to Shipboard Disciplinary Procedures

Master's Guide to Shipboard Disciplinary Procedures - Code of Conduct for the Merchant Navy

This book identifies key sections of The Code of Conduct for the Merchant Navy, ensuring readers understand the way in which it applies to each crew member. The book sets out principles aimed at ensuring high standards of discipline on board merchant ships and promotes the wellbeing of the seafarers working on them.

This book advises readers on sanctions behind the Code, the role of the Master in the disciplinary process and the formal disciplinary procedure that must be followed. The Code of Conduct has undergone a comprehensive revision to ensure that it remains up to date and relevant, which in turn led the UK Chamber of Shipping to review and revise this guide. The recommendations not definitive but give practical advice on how investigations and hearings should be conducted on board.
