Liberia completes first SRPS audit
(Feb 18 2011)
The Liberian Registry has carried out the first SRPS (Seafarer Recruitment and
Placement Services) audit for compliance with the ILO Maritime Labour
Convention (MLC 2006).
The audit was performed on behalf of Anglo-Eastern Ship Management, at its
offices in Mumbai, India, on 16th February.
The lead auditor was Anthony Geegbae from the US offices of the Liberian
International Ship & Corporate Registry (LISCR), the managers of the Liberian
Registry. Two Mumbai-based auditors, representing the Liberian Administration,
were also in attendance.
The auditors recorded no deficiencies and the Liberian Administration will now
issue the relevant certification accordingly.
Capt David Pascoe, senior VP, maritime operations & standards for LISCR, said,
"It is vital that we take the initiative on MLC which, for the most part,
merely formalises many of the systems, procedures and agreements that quality
shipowners already have in place relative to seafarer concerns.
"MLC should bring a new level of openness and communication that will help
eliminate many of the frustrations and insecurities that seafarers have with
their shipowners, managers and crewing agents, particularly because everything
between them will be transparent, open and, ultimately, audited," he said.
Two of Anglo-Eastern's trainers have completed the MLC course at the ILO in
Turin and are qualified as inspectors and auditors. In addition, Anglo-Eastern
has already started conducting courses for MLC familiarisation and advanced
courses for auditors.
