Thus, this research aims at understanding the specificities of the Merchant Marine Officialdom profession and the relevance of this activity for the society, for capitalism and for globalization. In relation to the relevance of the activity, the development of navigation and its participation in the cargo shipping around the world were considered, which corresponds to around 80% of all the cargo shipped worldwide, as well as the importance of navigation, referring to cargo shipping throughout history and its participation in capitalism and in globalization. Referring to the specificities of the profession, the militarized influence in the profession was considered, even though it is a civil and commercial activity, which influences the professional formation, organization and job assignment. The professional competences and its relations with immaterial labor were also analyzed, as well as daily work, confined and isolated work, experiences between work time and nonwork time. The research was conducted through semi-structured interviews with ten Seafarers Oficcers, by e-mail, whose questionary is in the introduction of this dissertation, with qualitative approach. The data revealed the peculiarities of the Merchant Marine Officialdom profession, which distinguish it from the others professions / O objeto desta pesquisa são as relações de trabalho do Oficial da Marinha Mercante no Brasil, albergando as duas habilitações: Oficial de Náutica e Oficial de Máquinas, espécie de trabalhador marítimo, atuando no transporte de cargas. Desta forma, esta pesquisa busca compreender as especificidades da profissão de Oficialato da Marinha Mercante e a relevância da atividade para a sociedade, para o capitalismo e para a globalização.Com relação à relevância da atividade, foi considerado o desenvolvimento da navegação e sua participação na movimentação de cargas no mundo, que corresponde a cerca de 80% de toda a carga transportada internacionalmente, assim como a importância da navegação, referente ao transporte de cargas ao longo da história e sua participação no capitalismo e na globalização. Referente às especificidades da profissão, foi considerada a influência militarizada na profissão, apesar de ser uma atividade civil e comercial, que influenciam na formação profissional; na organização e divisão do trabalho. Também foram analisadas as competências profissionais e as suas relações com o trabalho imaterial, assim como a jornada de trabalho; trabalho em confinamento e em isolamento; vivências entre o tempo de trabalho e tempo de não trabalho. A pesquisa foi realizada mediante entrevistas semi-estruturadas com dez Oficiais da Marinha Mercante, via e-mail, cujo o roteiro encontra-se na introdução desta dissertação.

Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2000. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The increasing financial pressures exerted on ship owners in recent years due to cost inflation, overtonnage and low freight rates in many sectors, have forced ship owners to increase cost savings and contain costs. That induced certain shipowners to operate substandard ships. The cost advantages in substandard ships are through failing to maintain safety equipment and procedures, employing cheap and untrained crews, repairing only essential equipment on breakdown and register under flags that do not comply with all the international regulatory, economic and social requirements for ships. Those ships undercut the true costs of operating a ship and eventually drive the obedient shipowner out of the market at the cost of safe and clean seas. Because of the complex international environment in which shipping operates an international regulatory framework is needed to ensure safety at sea. This assignment gives a layout of that framework, which is co-ordinated by the International Maritime Organisation (!MO), as well as the ways in which it is implemented and regulated in individual countries, with reference to South Africa. The functioning of the South African Maritime Safety Agency (SAMSA), which has been established on 1 April 1998, is also discussed. The benefit of safe ports is highlighted and also the cost savings in marine insurance if ships are classified as safe. A brief description of the navigation instruments that SAMSA use to assist in achieving maritime safety is given. Finally, the diseconomies of substandard ships are debated against quality ships for cleaner seas. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die toenemende finansiële druk op skeepseienaars, as gevolg van koste inflasie, oortonnemaat en lae vragtariewe in verskeie sektore, het hulle gedwing om oor die laaste aantal jare hul kostes te beperk. Gedwonge kostebesparings gee aanleiding daartoe dat sekere skeepseienaars onveilige skepe bedryf. Kostevoordele in onveilige skepe word bereik deur veiligheidstoerusting en -prosedures nie in stand te hou nie, goedkoop en onopgeleide bemanning aan te stel, slegs die nodige herstelwerk aan toerusting te doen en deur te registreer onder vlae wat nie voldoen aan internasionale regulering, ekonomiese en sosiale vereistes vir skepe nie. Eienaars van sulke skepe, onderskruip die ware bedryfskoste van 'n skip en uiteindelik dryf dit die wetsgetroue skeepseienaars uit die mark ten koste van 'n veilige en skoon see. As gevolg van die komplekse internasionale omgewmg waann skeepvaart funksioneer, word 'n internasionale reguleringsraamwerk benodig om veiligheid ter see te verseker. Hierdie werkstuk gee 'n uitleg van daardie raamwerk, wat gekoordineer word deur die Internasionale Maritieme Organisasie (!MO), asook die manier waarop dit geïmplementeer en gereguleer word in individuele lande met verwysing tot Suid-Afrika. Die funksionering van die Suid-Afrikaanse Maritieme Veiligheids Agentskap (SAMSA), wat tot stand gebring is op 1 April 1998, word bespreek. Die voordele van veilige hawens word uitgelig, sowel as die besparings in maritieme versekeringskoste indien 'n skip as veilig geklassifiseer word. 'n Kort beskrywing van navigasie-instrumente wat SAMSA gebruik om maritieme veiligheid te bewerkstellig, word kortliks bespreek. Ten slotte, die dis-ekonomie van onveilige skepe word gedebateer teenoor die kwaliteit van skepe vir 'n skoner see.

Le navire possède une nationalité lui permettant d'être identifié partout où il se trouve. Il est le moyen de transport préféré des échanges commerciaux internationaux de marchandises, et/ou des personnes, d'un port à un autre, d'un pays à un autre. Avoir une flotte marchande nationale est primordial pour le pays ; mais diverses contraintes entravent son expansion et son développement. Les contraintes sont aussi bien internes qu'externes (hégémonie des grands armateurs, domination des grandes nations maritimes). Au niveau national, l'immatriculation d'un navire obéit à certaines conditions. Les procédures sont lourdes et longues ; les textes sont très anciens et nécessitent d'être modifiés afin de répondre aux besoins des armateurs désirant de créer ou de renforcer leurs flottes. Au niveau international , les contraintes datent depuis toujours. L'histoire du commerce maritime a toujours montré l'envie de domination des grandes nations sur les autres. Dans un certain temps par le colonialisme pur et simple, lequel a connu des protestations et des soulèvements des peuples colonisés dans le but de retrouver leur indépendance. Ensuite s'est instaurée la domination économique et commerciale, toujours par les mêmes nations, dites développées et industrialisées ; cette fois ci à travers les accords commerciaux bilatéraux ou multilatéraux, et des organismes internationaux (O.N.U., C.N.U.C.E.D., O.M.I., O.M.C., ...). Une grande partie de ces accords et ces conventions a été élaborée sur mesure, sous le lobbying des nations dominantes, de telle sorte que leurs intérêts soient préservés / Ship has a nationality (a flag) allowing her to be identified wherever she is. It's preferred means of transport for international trade of goods, and/or passengers, from a port to port or a country to another. To have a national merchant fleet is vital for the country (or the state), but various constraints hinder its expansion and development. The constraints are both internal and external (hegemony of the major shipping companies, domination of the major maritime nations). Nationally, the registration of a vessel is subject to certain terms. The procedures are cumbersome and complicated ; the legal texts are very old and need to be modified to meet the needs of owners to establish or strengthen their fleets. At the international level, the constraints have always existed. The history of maritime trade has always shown the desire of the great nations to dominate others. First, in a period of pure and simple colonialism, in which protests and uprisings of the colonized peoples occured, in order to regain their independence. Then, the commercial and economic domination has been established, still with the same nations, so-called developed and industrialized ; this time through bilateral or multilateral trade agreements, and international agencies (United Nations, U.N.C.T.A.D., I.M.O., W.T.O., ...). Much of these agreements and conventions were developed and personalized, under the lobbyong of the dominant nations, so that their interests are constantly safeguarded

Livet som sjöbefäl är i dagens samhälle ofta förknippat med en världsomspännande arbetsplats med goda arbetsförhållanden. Dessa förhållanden under vilka svenska sjöbefäl idag arbetar kan dock snabbt förändras under en världspandemi, då många länder världen över stänger sina gränser och försätter landet i isolation. Men till vilken grad har covid-19-pandemin påverkat svenska sjöbefäl i dess yrkesliv och privat? Med den frågeställningen som bakgrund är syftet med den här studien att undersöka och belysa hur de svenska sjöbefälen anser sig påverkats och vad som kan förbättras inför framtiden.                                                                           Genom kvalitativa, semistrukturerade intervjuer med 5 olika svenska sjöbefäl har den empiri som ligger till grund för resultatet samlats in. Resultatet visar bland annat att en absolut majoritet av de respondenter som medverkat i studien upplever att deras familjer i störst utsträckning påverkats och att detta faktum var den jobbigaste delen av att inte vara hemma under betydligt längre tidsperioder än vad dessa befäl vanligtvis är. Informanterna önskar se förändringar kring deras möjligheter till att mönstra av och på i framtiden. / The life as a merchant marine officer is often seen as a worldwide workplace with good working and living standards. However, the life standard onboard these vessels where the Swedish officers work can quickly change during a worldwide pandemic when a lot of countries close their borders and put themselves in isolation. So, to what degree are these officers private life and life onboard affected by the corona pandemic?                                                                                                                     With that questions as background the purpose of this thesis is to research how the world pandemic affected the Swedish marine officers as well as what they think needs to be changed in future. Through interviews with 5 different Swedish officers using a semi-structured way of interviewing, data answering these questions has been collected. The result of this research shows amongst other that an absolute majority of the officers that were interviewed found the family and relatives to be the toughest subject. They also point it out as the most affected part of their lives, mostly because of the long periods they all spent onboard their vessels. All the officers answered that they wanted to see some changes in the future when it comes to their sign on and sign off possibilities.

Its specific objectives, are to help reduce dependence by Brazilian users of shipping services provided by carriers that make extensive use of flags of convenience. As justification for the study, we note that it is an important issue for long-term strategic interests of the Brazilian State. The development of a long-term State Maritime Policy is critical to a Country that has one of the largest coasts and internal waterway networks in the world. The hypothesis addressed in this work is the study of the major legal and economic aspects of flags of convenience as well as the possibility of using the WTO through the GATS, to combat this practice or, alternatively, adapt it to the entire international maritime community so all Countries and their Merchant Marines can enjoy the same legal framework. The method is inductive, since the author will depart from particular issues to achieve generalized conclusions. This method extends the freedom of the researcher, allowing him to consult a variety of sources, so that, intuitively, the author can reach the proposed result. Emphasis will be given to the impact that these flags of convenience cause to the development of a Brazilian Maritime Power as well as a Brazilian strong Merchant Marine and possibilities of using the WTO Word Trade Organization, to curb this practice. It is argued that this practice violates the GATS (General Agreement on Tariffs and Services) rules, highlighting unfair competition in the international maritime market / Esta dissertação tem como objetivo geral contribuir para a redução da dependência dos usuários brasileiros de serviços de transportes marítimos prestados pelos navios de bandeiras de conveniência. Trata-se de tema importante para os interesses estratégicos de longo prazo do Estado brasileiro, o que justifica a relevância desta pesquisa. A elaboração de uma Política Marítima de Estado, de longo prazo, é fundamental para um país que tem uma das maiores costas e malhas hidroviárias do mundo. A hipótese desta pesquisa sustenta que o estudo dos principais aspectos jurídicos e econômicos das bandeiras de conveniência, bem como a possibilidade de uso da Organização Mundial do Comércio, através do Acordo Geral de Tarifas e Serviços GATS (General Agreement on Trade in Services - GATS), para combater tal prática, ou adequá-la para que toda a comunidade marítima internacional possa dela usufruir. O método utilizado é o indutivo, pois partir-se-á de questões particulares para conclusões generalizadas. Este método amplia a liberdade do pesquisador, ao lhe dar a liberdade de beber em diversas fontes para que, intuitivamente, chegue ao resultado proposto. Será dada ênfase ao impacto que tais bandeiras causam na construção do Poder Marítimo brasileiro e possibilidades de uso da Organização Mundial do Comércio para coibir tal prática. Sustenta-se que tal prática viola o GATS tendo em vista a concorrência desleal no mercado internacional marítimo
