Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of North-Promise

Gulfmark, the operator of the vessel 'North Promise' contracted to Shell in the North Sea, has firmly refuted allegations regarding the underpayment of its crew. The RMT trade union recently claimed that Filipino seafarers onboard were earning as little as £2.60 per hour, prompting the organization to file a formal complaint against the company. The union highlighted that inadequate wages and poor working conditions among supply vessels in UK waters, including the North Promise, have emerged as increasingly concerning issues. However, Gulfmark stands by its practices, asserting adherence to the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC). The company categorically denied the accusations of paying crew members £2.60 per hour, emphasizing its compliance with International Labour Organisation (ILO) regulations, flag state legislation, and relevant employment laws. Additionally, the UK's Maritime and Coastguard Agency has conducted audits on both the vessel and Gulfmark, subsequently issuing certificates of compliance that affirm the company's commitment to maintaining high standards in maritime employment.
