Four reasons why Seafarers are poor

Four reasons why Seafarers are poor

Seafarers career  are widely good earning job,  but still you will find most of them who are still on service and those who are off service are very poor. On this article,  we will like to give four important reasons why Seafarers got there Self into situation.

1. Management : seafarers lack management when you come to finance, this cost them to miss use the money they are been paid why onboard.  In such case,  you will find some seafarers spending money like someone who earn money from illegal way at beer clubs, restaurants, etc.

2. Family : unfortunately, some seafarers got very bad wives  who use there very hard worked and risk money anyhow. These also cost the seafarers to come back home to meet nothing but empty account,  of which when he plans to go back to sea,  he end up borrowing money for agent fee and others.

3. Fear of exams : sea job is a ranking job which requires reading and taken exams in stepping up to the upper ranks. some people feel very lazy to read or go for exams, which I believe they feel comfortable with there little rank and earnings. Age which wait for no one passes very fast and before you know it,  this person remain either rating or low rank till the end of his career age.

4. Unconcerned : some rating for example do feel unconcerned about the duties of there superior,  which makes the very poor in performance and ship owners do not take people who do not improve there job quality.  In this case,  they end up staying at home looking for job from year to year and end up earning nothing for themselves.

    1. How can someone that is paid N30k per month be able to upgrade him self to meet up the IMO standard of certification.
    2. How can some one the is two months at offshore and two weeks on timeoff be able to upgrade him self.

    I THINK MOST PROBLEMS THE SEAFARERS ARE FACING IS FROM THEIR BOSS AND CONTRACTORS.
    HOW CAN YOU UPDATE YOURSELF TO IMO STANDARD OF CERTIFICATION WITH 30K AS SALARY, WHERE BY THE AMOUNT FOR STCW IS 85K, PASSPORT 25K, ISPS 50,DISCHARGED BOOK 15K MEDICAL 25K ETC REMEMBER SO OF THIS DOCUMENT DO EXPIRE.

    DONT YOU THINK THAT ITS TIME THAT ITS SEAFARERS SHOUL BE PAID THE IMO STANDARD OF SALARY?
