If seafarers have unpaid wages, suffer poor food or accommodation, or are abandoned far from home, to whom should they turn if the shipowner is not interested? The flag state is often unwilling or unable to take responsibility. The seafarers’ own country will sometimes intervene but it depends on whether there is an embassy nearby and whether it has the resources to spend on supporting its seafarers. In short, there are not too many options available – the best bet is usually a trade union representative, such as an ITF Inspector, or someone from the Mission to Seafarers or similar welfare organisation. | Translation - Russian
Если морякам не выплачивают заработную плату, если они страдают от плохой пищи и плохих бытовых условий, если их бросили вдали от дома, а судовладельца это уже не интересует – к кому они должны обращаться за помощью? Государство флага зачастую не хочет или не имеет возможности взять на себя ответственность. Страна проживания моряков иногда может вмешаться, но это зависит от обстоятельств – есть ли поблизости посольство, и есть ли у посольства свободные средства, которые можно израсходовать на оказание помощи морякам. Короче, вариантов у них не так много, и наилучшим выбором чаще всего оказывается представитель профсоюза, скажем, Инспектор МФТ, или сотрудник Миссии моряков или подобной ей благотворительной организации, занимающейся социально-бытовым обслуживанием моряков. | Russian to English: Anecdote
