International Transport Workers’ Federation’s Decision on the Turkish International Ship Registry in the Context of the Flag of Convenience Concept
Öz
Seafarers working on ships operating under the flag of convenience (FOC) worked under very poor conditions, especially in the first years when the FOC concept emerged. The International Transport Workers’ Federation, established to protect the rights of transport workers, including seafarers, was not ignorant to this situation and launched the ‘FOC campaign’. The aim of this campaign was to ensure that ships operating under the FOC return to the flags of the states to which they originally belonged. The rapid spread of the FOC practice changed the aim of the Federation to the improvement of the living conditions of seafarers working under the FOC.
The Federation is not the only organisation working towards the concept of the FOC; traditional maritime nations have also established second registries in order to compete with this concept. Türkiye has also established a second registry, the Turkish International Ship Registry (TISR), for this purpose. Although second registries were established to compete with the FOC concept, some second registries have been qualified as ‘FOC’ by the Federation and have become the target of the ‘FOC campaign’ since they include practices similar to the FOC. There is conflicting information in different sources regarding whether TISR is considered as a ‘FOC’ by the Federation. This study aims to eliminate uncertainty caused by conflicting information by evaluating the Federation’s decision to qualify TISR as a ‘FOC’, the rationale for that decision and its outcomes.
