Personnel work in the shipping company
— Anatoly Sergeevich, how do you assess the process of forming replacement crews?
— This direction existed before. But we are paying great attention to it right now. Quite recently, we had twelve replacement crews, and now the forty-first is being formed. The sailors of such crews know for sure that they will receive leave according to the schedule. The task of the personnel officers is to transfer the entire fleet to work with a replacement crew.
Difficulties arise with trump vessels: they go to Cuba for two months, and return after five. Of course, it is impossible to create a replacement crew under such conditions. True, there are talks about changing crews in any foreign port, but it's too expensive. We are not yet economically ready for such an organization of work.
Another important point. For the first time, the shipping company is provided with the personnel of the crew and even, as we said, with an excess. Therefore, this year we have managed to arrange vacations for all captains according to schedules, which they could only dream of before.
We have also eliminated vacation arrears, which until recently amounted to 150-200 days. However, not for all categories of crew: There are not enough second mates. We have now hired 106 graduates of the LVIMU Faculty of Navigation, which is also, by the way, the first time in the history of shipping. So after a while, we will be able to staff the crews with second assistants, and then all the sailors will have the opportunity to rest regularly.
And since the personnel shortage is being eliminated, we are able to carry out a more thorough selection of specialists for nomination.
The situation with the mechanics was different. At the moment, we have about 30 senior mechanics in excess of our staff. Their recruitment was planned taking into account the fact that they have the right to retire at 55. But few people retire at this age. And for the third year now, mechanics have had virtually no career advancement.
What else has changed in our work? The procedure for approving captains and first mates has been simplified...
— And who is responsible for the quality of the selection of first assistants! The personnel department or the party committee!
— And we, and the party committee, and, of course, the crew. I would like to emphasize that the requirements here are high. First of all, we must take into account the ideological training of our Pompolites and their humanity...
— Again, do you put humanity at the forefront?
— First of all. Because most of the incidents are related to the fact that we don't understand each other, or rather, we don't want to understand each other. It's either a given or not... And in general, in order to work normally with people, you need to perceive a person as yourself. The way you would like to be treated, treat others the same way. Then I am sure that the lion's share of conflicts will disappear. Unfortunately, not everyone understands this.
— Let's focus on the problems of the logging fleet. How are they solved? Do you take into account the experience of other shipping companies in this field?
— In 1989, in order to improve working conditions on logging trucks, the amount of flight bonuses was increased, and the time for starting purchases of products abroad was reduced. The issue of bunkering ships in Norway on their way from Europe to Igarka is being worked out, which saves operational time of about two days per voyage. At one time, getting to work on a logging truck meant, as the sailors said, "catching God by the beard": short voyages, frequent visits.
The navy has aged now. And the saddest thing is that nothing is expected for the future — tonnage is being reduced. So, we need to build a new one.
And prices have increased dramatically. Today, for example, the 8,000-ton Kapitan Goncharov cost the shipping company almost 18 million rubles, and twenty years ago such a vessel would have cost one and a half million. Therefore, considerable efforts are required from seafarers to maintain ships in good technical condition. This issue is not only economic, but also social.
Of course, some steps are being taken to improve the situation. We are following the path of purchasing used fleets abroad, which to some extent facilitates the work of sailors.
