Vessels must provide the FOP Observers with accommodations comparable to full crew members, unless other arrangements have been pre-approved by the FOPMO in Navotas City. Female observers must be afforded reasonable privacy, and must be accommodated either in a single-person cabin or in a two-person shared cabin with a curtain or other temporary divider. If private toilet and shower facilities are unavailable for a woman observer, arrangements for sharing common facilities must be established and approved prior to departure by FOPMO. Any concerns about accommodations must be raised in advance of a trip directly with FOPMO.
