Intermanager Members Rally To Support Of Hebei Spirit Crew

＞Reading a statement to the packed maritime conference, Mr Morel said:
“I believe that most of you are aware of the criminalisation of the Master and Chief Officer of the Hebei Spirit, whose only fault was to professionally serve onboard a tanker that was peacefully anchored in a Korean port and that was hit by a Korean barge owned by Samsung Heavy Industries, one of the largest Korean industrial concerns. Notwithstanding the excellent response of the tanker crew and the desperate attempts made to avert the incident, the drifting barge collided with the tanker, and 10,000 tonnes of oil were leaked, creating a serious oil spill which damaged beaches and affected many local people’s lives. The Master and Chief Officer of the Hebei Spirit, both of Indian Nationality, were retained in Korea to undergo trial on criminal responsibility charges (together with the owners and crew of the barge). A first judgment resulted in complete acquittal of the two seamen who were, however, forced to remain in Korea pending appeal. The Court of Appeal reversed the judgment and sentenced the two men to 18 and 12 months of jail respectively. This judgment was based on a Korean report prepared exclusively within Korea which was never presented to the other party, in breach of international rules. Experts have since seen this report, which is, to say the least, inaccurate if not incompetent.

“The two officers have now been thrown into jail and we have received reports indicating that they have been mistreated. Some of these mistreatments include: public humiliation after the sentence; being confined to a small, filthy cell without proper heating and proper facilities; being refused proper visiting time; and being forced to accept a feeding regime that is against their philosophical or religious beliefs. These are direct breaches of their Human Rights.

“International press reports convey the global condemnation of this internment. For example, one report said: ‘ There is much to be concerned with this case. Firstly, that "passive parties" who were clearly in no way, shape or form responsible for the incident should be found guilty by a reversal of an original decision, is disgraceful.

‘Secondly, the fact that the appeal was instigated by the Korean Maritime Safety Tribunal (KMST) that (according to Intertanko) did not produce its reports in accordance with the IMO Interim Guidelines for the Investigation of Marine Casualties…… [which] clearly emphasise the requirement for the body conducting an enquiry to consult with all interested parties before a final report is made. This was not done in this case and may indicate a pre-concluded desire to attach blame to the officers of the Hebei Spirit.

‘Thirdly, the two officers had been detained since the incident and then were not released when the first judgement of innocence was made. . . . Current concern with the environment is justified, but what is not is the scapegoat mentality that so often puts seafarers in the firing line.’ *

Mr Morel continued: “In the face of this parody of justice and the unjustified and unacceptable judgment of the Korean Court, InterManager is teaming up with all other shipping organisations, particularly Intertanko, to exert pressure on the Republic of Korea to organise the immediate freeing of our crews.

韓国のこの裁判官はノムヒョンと同類らしいですね。国際ルールを知らないバカが裁判官らしい。どうして韓国はいつもこんなバカやるんですかね。これで韓国の国際評価は、ガタ落ちでしょう（苦笑
