Abuse of MLC 2006

摘要

I was sailing as a 2nd Engineer, and whilst the ship was getting ready to leave the anchorage and berth for cargo operations on 05th December at 0700 hours, I fell by accident and fractured my ankle. The Captain tried to send me to the local hospital, but the company rejected the request. I called the company superintendent, and was told, "It is not an argument of right and wrong. How can I get a relief 2nd Engineer to the vessel with such short notice?" Following cargo operations, the ship departed Port "A" South Korea on 05th December, and anchored off Port "B", China on 06th December for 5 days. My ankle was still fractured though and it has not recovered yet.
