Masters and the Merchant Shipping Act

17 September 2024

A recent Workboat Association Safety Forum highlighted concern over the lack of awareness among Masters working in UK waters of the full extent of their legal responsibilities. Stephen Angove, CJC Senior Associate & Master Mariner was among the invited speakers.

QUICK ANSWER: WHY HARASSMENT AND BULLYING ONBOARD MUST BE PREVENTED
