Listen "Off course (S2 E4): Jacqueline Smith"
Episode Synopsis
We’re back for another episode and this month we’re speaking with Jacqueline Smith, the maritime coordinator for the International Transport Workers' Federation.
In this podcast we discuss the concept of Flags of Convenience (FOCs) in the maritime industry. Why the ITF is calling for a global review of ship registration practices and a clearer definition of a "genuine link" between a ship and its flag state. We also discuss the lack of enforcement of these regulations by FOC countries, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic.
