C2.5.2.e. How do seafarers know that they are covered by a financial security system in the event of their abandonment?

Standard A2.5.2, paragraph 6, provides that ships that are required to carry a Maritime Labour Certificate and a declaration of maritime labour compliance [see C5.2.3.d.], shall carry on board a certificate or other documentary evidence of financial security issued by the financial security provider [see Appendix A2-I of the Convention, which details the information that shall be included in the certificate or other documentary evidence]. A copy shall be posted in a conspicuous place on board where it is available to the seafarers. Where more than one financial security provider provides cover, the document provided by each provider shall be carried on board. Under Standard A2.5.2, paragraph 11, the financial security shall not cease before the end of the period of validity of the financial security unless the financial security provider has given prior notification of at least 30 days to the competent authority of the flag State.
