A aplicação do ISM Code (International Safety Management Code) na marinha mercante

Abstract

The Brazilian Merchant Marine suffered major changes throughout its history. Went through periods of ascent, 70 years for periods of decay, 80, also known as the lost decade, restructuring periods, 90 years, until today expanding. Expanding this very contributed by the oil industry, by boiling the pre-salt layer. The Brazilian shipping industry is going through a time of rapid expansion due, among other factors, government policies that encourage the construction in domestic shipyards, ships to be used to support activities in the oil and gas industry. At the same time, to complement the Brazilian fleet, oil companies demand the hiring of large numbers of foreign vessels to support its operations. According to studies commissioned by the Union of Shipowners, Syndarma, this picture of fleet growth, observed, particularly in the last 10 years, contrasts with the shortage of skilled labor to man the boats, especially the Merchant Navy Officers (WMO). Accentuating the contrast, the National Immigration Council issued Normative Resolution No. 72/2006 (RN 72), determining the shipping companies that operate foreign-flagged boats, hiring minimum proportions of Brazilian crew, after 90 days of continuous operation in the country. Also, point out that the dropout rate of WMO, in the early years of their careers embedded, is about thirty percent. On the other hand, the National Union of Merchant Navy Officers (SINDMAR) states that the RN 72 was developed in order to maintain the employability of Brazilians on the unfair competition with foreigners. In turn, the Directorate of Ports and Coasts (DPC) through the Superintendent of Maritime Professional Education, has increased year after year the number of vacancies for the training of Merchant Navy Officers, and the creation of new trainers courses. Thus, the present study, from a literature review on the history of the Brazilian Merchant Navy, the Brazilian culture, motivation, conflict of interest employer-employee, work in confined space and turnover, has developed into an exploratory research and field, through personal interviews, analyzed in light of the technique of content analysis, professionals with recognized expertise on the subject, besides OMM, with the aim of identifying factors contributing to the recruitment of foreign labor to rather than Brazilian. As a result, the study showed that the motivating agents revolve around the high operating cost of the national workforce. Whether by high wages, high taxes, shorter regimens shipments.
