If the master finds (after a properly conducted hearing) that the seafarer had breached Paragraph 9 of the Merchant Navy Code of Conduct and decides that the continued presence on board of the seafarer would be detrimental to the efficient and safe running of the ship or to the maintenance of harmonious personal relations on board.
In what circumstances could a master arrange for the dismissal of a seafarer and his repatriation to the UK from an overseas port of call?
