Sah! – Manning Agreement dengan Principal merupakan perjanjian resmi antara perusahaan perekrutan awak kapal (manning agency) dan pemilik atau operator kapal (principal) yang menetapkan ketentuan mengenai perekrutan, penempatan, dan manajemen awak kapal.
Dokumen ini menjadi dasar hukum yang mengatur hak dan kewajiban kedua belah pihak dalam menyediakan dan mengelola tenaga kerja maritim sesuai dengan standar yang berlaku.
Manning Agreement berfungsi sebagai jaminan bahwa awak kapal yang ditempatkan di atas kapal memiliki kualifikasi yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan operasional dan persyaratan hukum.
Dalam perjanjian ini, manning agency bertanggung jawab untuk melakukan seleksi, pelatihan, dan administrasi tenaga kerja maritim, serta memastikan bahwa setiap pelaut yang direkrut memenuhi persyaratan sertifikasi dan kompetensi yang diwajibkan oleh regulasi internasional maupun nasional.
Fungsi utama dari Manning Agreement adalah untuk memberikan kepastian hukum bagi kedua belah pihak terkait proses perekrutan dan penempatan awak kapal.
Dengan adanya perjanjian ini, principal mendapatkan jaminan bahwa awak kapal yang direkrut memenuhi standar yang ditetapkan, sementara manning agency memiliki landasan hukum dalam menjalankan tugasnya.
Selain itu, perjanjian ini juga mencakup aspek perlindungan bagi awak kapal, termasuk hak-hak mereka terkait kesejahteraan, gaji, asuransi, serta kondisi kerja yang aman.
Manning Agreement juga berperan dalam memastikan kepatuhan terhadap regulasi yang berlaku, seperti Konvensi Ketenagakerjaan Maritim (MLC) 2006 yang mengatur standar minimum bagi pekerja maritim di seluruh dunia.
Perjanjian ini sering kali mencantumkan ketentuan mengenai durasi kontrak, sistem rotasi kerja, tunjangan, serta kewajiban principal dalam memberikan perlindungan kepada awak kapal selama masa kerja mereka di atas kapal.
Dalam implementasinya, Manning Agreement harus disusun secara rinci dan jelas agar tidak menimbulkan perselisihan di kemudian hari.
Oleh karena itu, penyusunan dokumen ini biasanya melibatkan konsultasi hukum guna memastikan kepatuhan terhadap regulasi yang berlaku.
Sebagai bagian dari dokumen hukum yang penting dalam industri maritim, Manning Agreement menjadi instrumen utama dalam menjamin profesionalisme dan kesejahteraan tenaga kerja maritim di tingkat global.
