"That of the marine ones is one of the little groups of workers who have equal rules all over the world" and that, with the exception of how much he happens for other categories, for being able to work he must "obtain attested and to certificates" and being successively and repeatedly subordinate to controls. It has emphasized with Filippo emphasis earns, managing director of the society of manning Sirius Ship Management, partially because outraged of the insufficient credit turned from the public opinion to the category of the marine ones after the shipwreck of the Costa Concordia - event on which, it has found, one has produced much disinformation - because partially disposed to overwhelm this lack of information on the characteristics, the peculiarities and the opportunities offered from the job on the ships, that it is interesting and very which rewarded.
Of the same Greg Triantafillou warning, president of the International Maritime Employers' Council (IMEC), international the datoriale association that represents shipowners and ship manager in the industrial relations with the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF), the international union of the workers of the transports.
