Summary/Abstract: The shipmaster is authorized and obliged to give to all persons on board orders intended to make the ship and its navigation safe, to maintain law and order on board, and to supervise the enforcement of the given orders. By refusing to carry out shipmaster's orders to supervise the ship in difficult conditions of navigation a crew member endangers the safety of the ship and navigation as well as the safety of crew members. It is within the competence of the shipmaster to suspend a crew member who endangers the safety of navigation. And if circumstances require so, to disembark and repatriate him. Shipmaster's duty is to implement procedures referred to in Croatian Maritime Code, and Collective Agreement. The shipmaster has the obligation to give a crew member the advance notice in letter form about reasons of his being dismissed and disembarked.
