Maritime Opportunities for a Human Resource Career
"What are Rewarding Potentials in Maritime?"

by Jonathan Arnold, Esq. - Director
Lead Paralegal Academy Instructor

The Maritime Industry basically revolves around ships, the seas and the borderless global business it deals in. Therefore, it helps to start with the basic rule that every merchant ship/vessel needs to be registered to a state of its choice. Once registered, the ship is then bound to carry the flag of that state (i.e., the ship’s Flag State) and is accordingly bound by the rules and regulations enforced by the same.

The practice of registering the ship to a state different than that of the ship’s owner is known as Flag of Convenience (or FOC). Now here's the legal aspect slightly more appropriate for your Paralegal colleagues, but nonetheless one that also associates the potential for high-paying careers in this field. In order to be included in the list of Flag States, a shipper has to have the necessary financial and technical maritime foundation that outlines the shipper’s ability to be a legitimate maritime operation, in other words, a large enough business ability to produce and perform.

Take ACTION!

On a side note, there is also a balance that has to be struck between the commercial advantages of selecting a particular flag and the need to discourage the use of flags that do not meet their international obligations. Then it must adhere to all the standards and regulatory mandates established by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the agency of the U.N. established in 1948 that is responsible for regulating shipping industries. The IMO currently has over 170 Member States and three Associate Members dealing with safety, environmental concerns, legal matters, technical co-operation, maritime security and the efficiency of shipping, etc. Starting to observe some of the HR Potential here? If not - read on.

Many Options for a Maritime PL aPHR Career

Human Resource professionals who work in the Maritime Law fields will benefit from some of the jurisdictional challenges, and related legal issues, just as paralegals do.

Although maritime law is international, the specific code is established in United States federal law. Embedded within Article III of the Constitution, the US Code expressly delegates that power to the federal judiciary. Despite that classification, state courts enjoy concurrent jurisdiction in maritime matters when an issue can be resolved under common law principles. Whoa, What?? You say! Well, while that's more for the Maritime Legal eagles to deal with, and I might add, a challenge worthy of one of our Paralegal / LDA graduates, for Human Resources on the other hand, well, that's just another option for management and job function career opportunities.

Important Elements of the Maritime Industry

Let's identify a few very important elements to educate you on a couple of terms and factors for the maritime and admiralty industry. While this article is merely an introduction to HR in the Maritime industry, you will see these terms all along the way should you decide to get your feet wet in this high paying career, so try and 'soak' some of this in so to speak.

Maritime Commercial Terms - 'Skimming the Surface'

The Incoterms or International Commercial Terms are a series of pre-defined commercial terms published by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) relating to international commercial law, and this all supports business for maritime insurance carriers, another career potential for HR. If you dive a little deeper into the 'Sea-Weed' maritime understandings you'll discover many potentials you most certainly never considered in the way of this exciting and highly rewarding career choice. Just examining a few of the terms used daily in maritime open up opportunities within their own categories. Here are some basic terms, see if you can start to see those business ventures associated with each that can be a source of potentials for an HR manager or staff.

FAS (Free Alongside Ship):
Requires goods be delivered alongside of the ship. Once delivered, risks and costs are diverted to the other, with the seller being required to arrange proper clearance of the goods.

FOB (Free On Board): With regards to maritime purposes; goods to be loaded onto a ship, then once loaded the risks and costs will be transferred.

CFR (Cost And Freight): Seller pays for delivery costs but insurance is not included.

CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight); insurance paid by seller. As you see, there are opportunities associated with even maritime terminology.
