FONASBA Introduces New
Commission Contract
The Federation of National
Associations of Ship Brokers and
Agents (FONASBA) has introduced a standard International Brokers
Commission Contract to help allevi- ate the problem faced by shipbro- kers when chasing payment of their commission from recalcitrant shipowners. FONASBA's solution is a simple, one-page contract which the broker invites the owner to sign.
The contract lays out the terms under which commission is payable, and establishes where, should a dis- pute arise, arbitration proceedings should be held.

USCG Proposes Changes To
Training Standards For
Seafarers
To comply with the 1995 amend- ments to the 1978 International
Convention on Standards of
Training, Certification and
Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW), the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) has published a proposed rulemaking and will hold three pub- lic hearings during the comment period to discuss it.
According to the USCG, changes to the STCW could impact virtually all phases of the system used in the
U.S. to train, test, evaluate, docu- ment and license merchant mariners. The proposed regula- tions, which would take effect
February 1, 1997, apply to mariners aboard U.S. vessels sailing beyond the U.S. boundary line on ocean and coastwise voyages. The public hear- ings are scheduled for May 8 in New
Orleans, May 14 in Seattle and May 25 in Washington, D.C. Written comments on the proposed rulemak- ing must be received by July 24, 1996.
For additional information on the proposed rulemaking, contact
Christopher Young, project man- ager, tel: (202) 267-0216.
SEA Inc. has introduced its newest prod- uct, the SEA 400-A3 GMDSS Console, which integrates the basic carriage requirements for Sea Area 3. The unit, available for the first time last month, is designed to allow the end user to purchase the system already assembled for instant installation onboard.
This turnkey GMDSS communications sys- tem is indicative of SEA's growing promi- nence in providing marine communications equipment. SEA's manufactures a full line of products which has been FCC type-accept- ed for GMDSS. SEA has been selling VHF and HF/SSB communications products to the high seas, workboat/fishboat and large yacht marketplace for more than 20 years.
