IMSN 1767 states: “Owners and operators should consult with the master, seafarers’ representatives and the MCA (where appropriate) on their proposed manning levels. Once agreed, a record of the consultation process should be retained by the owner or operator, together with a record of the agreed manning level.”
In what way should the master of a newbuilding, or a ship changing its operations, be involved in obtaining a Safe Manning Document for a UK ship?
