Not bragging, but I figured out how to use a lifering on my own.
So a profit driven company saves on dough by cutting staff to the barest of slim wages they can.. then are willing to gamble with the future safety of their potential(ly stupid) customers.
*Paint me shocked.*
I saw a piece in one of these articles that suggested some of these events staff scooped up from wherever were under the impression they would be working on a cruise ship. They didn’t know what type of vessel or route, how was this expected to go well
I worked at sea for 25 years. There are standards of training that you must comply with, be it at shore based facilities or on-board drills. You have to produce some training and medical certification before you even step on-board. We had regular audits both internal and external. I don’t believe a major ferry company would allow such a lapse. If its true, shut them down.
That sounds like a very easy lawsuit in the making after the first incident. How long would they have been able to get away with this? A month at best? It seems like such a basic oversight but I suppose they were simply blinded by greed and did not notice as a result.
I’m quite enjoying P&O being absolutely slated by the news these past few weeks. Everyone is very rightly pissed and will do everything they can to ensure the company is fucked in the long term.
On here a couple of weeks ago people were acting like it was some sort of conspiracy that there ship’s were being detained for not being sea worthy.
