Look: Isang Filipino seafarer ang nagrereklamo sa isang manning agency.

Ayon kay Fourth Engineer John Iyod Restauro, siya ay niloko ng ABLE MARITIME SEAFARERS INC. sa kanyang Pre-deployment at sa kanyang pag-deploy.

"They kept on lying about my schedule of embarkation. They once asked me to go to Manila as I was supposedly about to be deployed for New Zealand only to be told later that the schedule is moved to September. They did the same in November and once more in December. They had me traveling back and forth and I was spending a lot on airfare

"They were also spreading lies, telling people that they paid for my fare and expenses here. None of that is true,"

Sa kasalukuyan, siya ay nastranded sa Fiji, New Zealand at walang trabaho o anumang tulong galing sa Able Maritime Seafarer Inc.

Inireklamo niya ito sa POLO sa Wellington New Zealand at sa International Transport Worker’s Federation(ITF) at nang malaman ito ng kanilang principal, sila ay nawalan ng trabaho.

"If Able Maritime Seafarers Inc and the POEA are unable to provide satisfactory responses to our serious and pressing questions, then we in the ITF will have no choice but to formally red list this manning agency and issue a worldwide alert through our networks warning seafarers of the potential dangers of engaging with this company," Steve Trowsdale, ITF Inspectorate Coordinator, said on their website.
The ITF is likewise asking POEA officials to explain how it decided to reinstate Able Maritime just a few weeks after it was suspended.
"Until agencies like Able Maritime Seafarers Inc. step up to their responsibilities, and until regulators like POEA do their job regardless of whether the television cameras are rolling then seafarers will not be safe and respected working abroad," Trowsdale said.
"We should put an end to this. A lot of seafarers have suffered and they cannot continue doing this to us. This is traumatic for us who simply wanted to work," Restauro said.
