If this is not Slavery at Sea , then what is slavery at Sea.
Please don't ignore this message and forward to all Indians who are proud of being Indian and can help us get all our Seafarers back who have been cheated in Iran and Malaysia
₹ 1000 Crores scam of Human Smuggling for placement on Iranian & Malaysian Ships exposed
If 25,000 young candidates pay ₹4 Lakh every year to Indian agents for placement, this is certainly a scam. India has ratified Maritime Labor Convention 2006 and thus paying money for job is illegal.
We are still fighting for loss of life claim for Late Deck Cadet Palash and Ranjit. Both lost life whilst working on Iranian Ships in the year 2016. There's no insurance for any Seafarer on Iranian Ships and Malaysian small ships. There are more than 1500 Indian Seafarers who are still stuck in Iran and about 500 in Malaysia. Many of them haven't been paid salaries for more than one year and some of them are staying on the dead ships of Iran for last 2 years. Passports of Indian nationals are snatched and retained ashore by Iranian agents.
There's food shortage onboard and Indian Seafarers are left to beg food, no water supply thus they take bath once a week, at times can't even brush teeth, begging to sign off from Embassy is the only thing they do but Indian Embassy is helplessly watching because Iranians care a damn.
In Malaysia , Seafarers are made to work ashore or have been put on Small fishing boats by Indian agents. Sarawak region is full of such cases and local police knows everything. 24 Indian Seafarers died in 2014 in a factory fire and Indian Embassy didn't take any action. What were Seafarers doing in factory!!!!!
Action required:
1. No Indian Seafarer should go to Iran & Malaysia Sarwan region.
2. Never join ship through unlicensed agents. DG Shipping website www.dgshipping.gov.in has list of all approved Recruitment and Placement Service Agencies.
3. Please do Seaman training at only DG Approved training Institutions. You can get the list of such Institutes from DG Shipping website. Fees is between 1.5 lakh to 2.5 lakh for 6 months course which starts Jan and July every year.
3. Government of India should put E Migrant system to have checks at the Immigration desk of all Indian International Airports
4. Report to DG Shipping all non Approved agents who are sending Indian Seafarers abroad. email to
amolkirtane-dgs@nic.in
5. Display the name of illegal Indian agents in digital media ( Facebook, whatsapp etc) who are taking money ₹4 lakh per Seafarer to send them to a Iran and Malaysia. We request DG Shipping to issue such a list every month to save our Young Indians who under duress of unemployment, sell parents property or withdraw all savings only to be cheated by agents. LET'S stop human smuggling to Sea.
6. If you have a complaint against DG Approved agent, please write to DG Shipping by email or letter. It is always addressed.
7. Indian Government to take up the cases of Late Seaman Ranjit and Palash for compensation of loss of life at Sea. We can't be treated differently than Iranians if life is lost working on Iranian Ships.
8. All Seafarers who are right now in Iran should take Iffco Tokyo Insurance for Seafarers which is on same lines as Pravasi Bhartiya Bima Yogna. Call Mr Kumar +91 98211 44289to know more. Atleast you are covered for Medical, repatriation and other risks to life. Government has made compulsory such Insurance only for ECR Indian Migrants.
