‘When Can the Captain Sleep?’ LinkedIn Post Sparks Debate　「船長はいつ眠ればいいのか」海事関係者の投稿が大きな反響

Inspections, paperwork and cargo operations continue after night arrivals, exposing tensions between seafarers’ rest hours and safety management

夜間入港後も続く検査、書類、荷役対応　船員の休息時間と安全管理の矛盾が浮き彫りに

　A LinkedIn post by Volodymyr Kabanov, a head of health, safety, environment and quality (HSEQ), master mariner and former marine superintendent, asking “When exactly is the Master supposed to sleep?” has sparked discussion among maritime professionals. The post highlights how masters who have completed night-time arrival operations are required to deal with port authorities, undergo various inspections and sign documents without being able to obtain sufficient rest.

■The full article covers the following points (approximately 2,000 Japanese characters)

→ On the bridge from 2am, alongside by 7am. Why do repeated requests for “just five minutes” still prevent the master from resting?

→ “Chief officers get even less sleep than masters.” A serving officer describes the reality of supervising cargo operations lasting 24-36 hours.

→ Are seafarers’ rest hours really being protected? Former masters highlight discrepancies between recorded working hours and actual conditions.

→ Told to comply with rest-hour requirements but unable to sleep. The contradictions between safety management and operational realities facing masters and chief engineers.

→ Who is responsible for protecting a master’s sleep? A pressing question for shipowners, shipmanagement companies and charterers.
