Thank you Sir, for your consideration of acknowledging my pleadings.I am doing exactly as per your instructions and orders and am running from post to pillar from 4th of February onwards seeking to sail in the next lower rank as a second engineer for three months on a 3000 Kwhr vessel around the coastal belt .Many owners are apprehensive about the delay and rigmarole of obtaining not only one but two dispensations from the DGS.Some even do not like to pay the fat fee involved. I have also registered with Jobship.com and have replied to some offers.But they are reluctant in taking a 69 year old man as a second engineer and on the net my good health is not reflected to them,clearly.May I humbly suggest some practicable solution to the writ of Meta Manual,in this aspect?
2.Sir,who am I to play tricks? I am,but a lowly seaman and you are all Gods incarnate. There was a time when a seaman could be debarred from sailing for all his life by the Master of the Vessel and the brits ashore as Govt. servants upheld the Sea-out of the seaman thus penalized. Now it’s more sophisticated. In my case truth to tell I am tricked good and proper into supplication, humiliation, repeated demotions resulting in abject penury of late. All this is done by playing with the life -line of my COC. It has been tampered, meddled and sabotaged in advance, by a rule to be framed seven months later. And uptodate the said rule vide Circular 105 0f 29th January,2007 is not enforced as I have reported of two cases, to your goodselves involving two chief engineers doing their revalidation on 26.02.2009,said that their COC was in no immediate need of revalidation, after the revalidation course. One COC was valid till July of this year and another till August. May I at least wonder to myself why did only mine expire with the expiry of the revalidation course on 26.02.09,enjoying only a little more than two and a half years of life-line or validity, revalidated when the new rule was no where in sight ./
3.May I dare say that I do know the reason? Yes it was a back-lash over trivials of rejuvenating the teaching of Steam-engineering in the LBS CAMSAR and some other small talk about roti-dal provided for trainees of AIIMT in one lakh for six months to be raised to nine months and my ’78 STCW COC being good for nothing piece of paper, etc.May I add it was a malafide intention and pre-meditated action.So how can it be held as tricks?It should be resolved gracefully, amicably and judiciously for God’s sake.
Yours truly and obediently.
