Crew Employment Contracts
URGENT: 2 crew contracts expired on M/Y Fortunata
Maria Kowalski and James Chen — contracts expired 27 May 2026, now 3 days overdue.
Crew working without valid contracts is a violation of MLC 2006 Regulation 2.1 and may result in vessel detention at the next port state control inspection.
MLC Compliance Risk: Under MLC 2006 Regulation 2.1, seafarers must have a valid Seafarers' Employment Agreement (SEA) in place at all times. Operating without a valid contract exposes the vessel to fines, detention, and potential repatriation liability. Renew both contracts immediately.
