Løsladte gidsler har ikke fået faretillæg

Den danske sømand Søren Lyngbjørn fortæller til Fyns Amts Avis, at han og kaptajn Eddy Lopèz ikke har modtaget faretillæg for de 838 dage, de sad som gidsler i Somalia. Samtidig er de to sømænd sammen med de fire filippinske besætningsmedlemmer blevet fyret fra rederiet den 2. september.

”Det virker urimeligt, at man får faretillæg for at sejle fra A til B, men at man ikke får tillæg for at sidde to og et halvt år som gidsler,” siger Søren Lyngbjørn til Fyns Amts Avis.

Faretillægget udgør en fordobling af lønnen, så længe man befinder sig i farefyldt farvand, og som gidsler i 838 dage i Somalia, mener Søren Lyngbjørn, at rederiet bør udbetale faretillæg for denne periode.

Gennem sin fagforening, Søfartens Ledere, kæmper han sammen med kaptajnen Eddy Lopéz for at få udbetalt faretillægget.

Direktør hos Søfartens Ledere, Fritz Ganzhorn, bekræfter, at man har henvendt sig til Shipcraft om både det manglende faretillæg til de to danske officerer, samt ansættelsesforholdene for alle seks søfolk.

Der foreligger ingen forklaring til, hvorfor de seks sømænd er blevet fyret.

”Vi er i dialog med rederiet om vores to medlemmers ansættelsesforhold. Og vi vil gerne i dialog med Shipcraft om faretillægget”, siger han til Ritzau.

Ritzau har forsøgt at få en kommentar fra administrerende direktør i Shipcraft, Claus Bech, som ikke har svaret på Ritzaus henvendelser.
