[QUOTE=Kraken;171032]I don’t know what the crew did but the first step should be to contact the Designated Person Ashore if they know that the vessel doesn’t comply with the SMS.

Contact the designated person ashore? Seriously? What authority does the DPA have at most companies?? Might as well call a unicorn
