The central
government grants such permission to seafarers working aboard ships that visit
Jawaharlal Nehru Port. However, sailors aboard ships docked at the Mumbai Port
do not get shore leave. Shore leave allows crew members to disembark the ship
for a limited period for taking a break from their work.
A delegation comprising senior members of the
Maritime industry met the Union Minister of State for Shipping Shripad Naik in
Mumbai on the Seafarers Day event and discussed the issues related to the denial
of shore leave by the Indian government at Mumbai Port and Minister assured
that the government would sort out the issue as they are committed
to resolve the challenges faced by the seafarers.
Both Mumbai Port and JN Port are among the 12 major
ports under the administrative control of the central government.
Confined spaces and the
monotonous routine of seafarers aboard cargo vessels often lead them to
boredom, homesickness, stress, and depression. The mental health of seafarers
is thus boosted through shore leaves.
The biggest positive of seaborne trade is that colossal
amounts of goods are transported by sea, by a relatively small number of ships,
operated by a small number of seafarers, with minimum fuss, efficiently and
safely. As per the report by UNCTAD, 11.09 billion tonnes of
cargo was moved by sea in 2021. That equates to 1.5 tonnes per person, based on
the global population of 7 billion! Yet, there are no more than 2 million
seafarers who undertake this monumental task!
