“Who is responsible for repatriation of seafarers?
It shall be the responsibility of the shipowner to arrange for repatriation by appropriate and expeditious means. The normal mode of transport shall be by air. 2. The cost of repatriation shall be borne by the shipowner.”

THIS MEANS THAT IF YOUR CREW JUMPS SHIP OR LEAVES DISGRUNTLED YOU ARE STILL ON THE HOOK FOR FLYING THEM HOME

THIS WARRANTS A CREW BOND OF 2,000 USD – SO IF YOU DO DECIDE TO TAKE ON CREW ASK FOR A CREW BOND OR LETTER TO DEAL WITH REPATRIATION COSTS
