Anglo-Eastern ship management in an update about its Indian recruitment and placement service license said today that this matter has been resolved, following a comprehensive review and investigation into the matter by the principal officer of the Mercantile Marine Department, who is the First Appellate Authority in such cases.
Following a detailed review by the authority, Anglo-Eastern has resolved the issues regarding a potential ban on the company’s Indian recruitment and placement services license.
Shipping Telegraph reported in June that in a long-running case since 2018 involving the natural death, as described by the company, of a senior officer on board one of its managed vessels, India’s Director of the Seamen’s Employment Office was in discussions with the company about its license.
In a statement posted on LinkedIn at that time Anglo-Eastern Ship Management said: “We value transparency with all our stakeholders, so can confirm that we are in discussions with the Director of the Seamen’s Employment Office about our recruitment and placement service license and an ongoing case since 2018 involving the natural death of a senior officer on board one of our managed vessels.”
The ship management company has announced on Tuesday that the earlier incident concerning its Indian recruitment and placement services license has been favourably concluded, following a comprehensive review and investigation into the matter by the Principal Officer of the Mercantile Marine Department, who is the First Appellate Authority in such cases.
