Previously, it was individual governments that used to establish “the standards of training, certification and watchkeeping of officers and ratings” (wikipedia/stcw), in most cases without reference to practices in other nations. As a consequence, standards and procedures were broadly different, although there is an extreme worldwide character in shipping (wikipedia/stcw) and many countries used to afford very satisfactory training. However, the performance criteria and necessary evidence for appraisal of competence under the STCW Code were open to unlike interpretations and this had provoked an increasing concern (Mi Jimmy NG, 2009)…

Introduction Under its rather broad portfolio, the Ministry of Communications, Transport & Tourism Development (MCTTD) of Kiribati is also responsible for regulating shipping and other maritime activities through the administration and enforcement of local maritime laws, and related international guidelines on seaworthiness and safety. It provides this function through the Marine Department. MCTTD’s organisational structure consists of the Minister as the political head, followed by the Secretary as the overall administrative head. Next in authority is the Deputy Secretary, immediately followed by line Departmental Heads called Directors. One of these is the Director of Marine Services, one of the writer’s colleagues and whose roles will be discussed in connection with the paper’s subject. Background Kiribati is an archipelago of 33 tiny, low-lying coral atolls in the Central Pacific. Due to the islands’ smallness and, thus, intimacy with the sea, coupled with their dispersion over 3.5 million km2 of ocean, the people of Kiribati have a largely maritime culture. Ocean-going has, up to this day, been a pastime for many, as well as a way of life for all. The people’s diet consists of fish as the main protein and, therefore, fishing is an important subsistence and commercial activity. Unsurprisingly, many Kiribati men are very skilful sailors and fishermen. Most fishermen in the capital island of Tarawa have open wooden boats, driven by an outboard motor engine. In the rural outer-islands, most fishermen stick to the traditional ‘outrigger’ canoe, either driven with oars or a cloth/canvass…
