Abstract

ALMOST 90 PERCENT OF WORLD TRADE IS DONE THROUGH SEA. SEA AND MARITIME HAVE BEEN ALWAYS CONSIDERED BY HUMANS. IT IS SAID THAT ONE OF THE FACTORS LED THE SEAFARERS TO THIS PROFESSION HAS BEEN “ROUND THE WORLD” TRAVEL AND TOURISM. BUT IS THERE STILL THIS ATTRACTION IN TODAY’S LIFE DESPITE THE ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES? WHICH FACTORS CAUSE THIS PROFESSION REMAIN ATTRACTIVE BECAUSE OF THE OWN SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS TAKE INDIVIDUALS WITH THEIR OWN SPECIFIC MOODS AND EXPERTISE? TODAY COMPETITIVE WORLD AND OPEN-DOOR POLICIES HAVE CAUSED THE SEAFARERS TO BE EMPLOYED BEYOND BORDERS AND NATIONAL FENCES AND AS RESULT WE ARE THE WITNESS THAT SEAFARERS WITH MULTIPLE NATIONALITIES ARE WORKING ON SHIPS. FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES THEY COME TOGETHER IN AN AREA CALLED SHIPS TO DEFINE THE INTERNATIONAL TRADE BECAUSE THE MARITIME TRANSPORTATION IS THE MOST ECONOMICAL KIND OF TRANSPORTATION IN THE WORLD. IN RECOGNITION THE IMPORTANCE OF SEAFARERS’ ROLE IN WORLD TRADE DEVELOPMENT, PASSENGER AND GOODS CARRIAGE, THEY HAVE HAD ALWAYS SPECIAL RESPECT. HOWEVER IN RECENT YEARS, THEY HAVE BEEN CONFRONTED WITH A CHALLENGE CALLED CRIMINALIZATION OF SEAFARERS AFTER THE OCCURRENCE OF MARINE ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT AND UNFAIR TREATMENT WITH THEM FOR SOME REASONS SUCH AS RELIGION AND NATION. PORTS WHERE ARE CONSIDERED AS A SAFE PLACE FOR SEAFARERS AFTER DAYS OR PERHAPS MONTHS AND IN FACT “A HOME AWAY FROM HOME” TODAY THE SEAFARERS HAVE BEEN DEPRIVED OF THE SHORE LEAVE RIGHT. COMMANDERS AND OFFICERS ARE RECOGNIZED AS THE MAIN CULPRIT IN CREATION OF INCIDENTS AND THEY HAVE BEEN TREATED AS CRIMINALS AND SOMETIMES THEY STAY IN PRISON FOR MONTHS OR YEARS, OR THEY HAVE BEEN TREATED AS TERRORIST. THESE FACTORS, ALONG WITH SOME OTHER CAUSES HAVE CAUSED THE SEAFARING PROFESSION HAS NO LONGER REMAINED AN INTERESTING PROFESSION SUCH THAT BASED ON THE INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF SEAFARERS STUDIES FOR 2015, THE SHORTAGE OF 27000 OFFICERS IS PREDICTED. TO THIS END AND FOR THE RECRUITMENT OF SKILLED AND EFFICIENT WORKERS AT SEA INTERNATIONAL MARITIME ORGANIZATION (IMO) HAS DONE SOME PROCEEDINGS AS AMONG THEM CAN NAME THE ALLOCATION OF 2010 TO SEAFARER’S DAY. THIS PAPER AIMS TO FOCUS ON “SEAFARER” AND PRESENT THE CHALLENGES AND GROWING OBSTACLES OF SEAFARING PROFESSION AND ALSO SOME SOLUTIONS FOR THE IMPROVEMENT AND PASSING THE EXISTING CONDITION.
