Actions if Code of Conduct is Breached
a. Observers travelling to a vessel and reported to be misbehaving, drunk , or who are found to have failed to pay bills or have damaged accommodation or are responsible for any other matter that brings disrepute to the Program, will have their Program Authorization revoked and may be asked to reimburse all costs involved in their travel.
b. If the observer is reported by the vessel captain to the PFOPMO to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol prior to boarding and this is confirmed by the PFOPMO Operations Coordinator, the observer will be withdrawn from the vessel and may be liable for all cost associated with their travel and or any advance payments. If they are unable to meet their obligations to board the designated vessel due to the influence of alcohol or drugs, the PFOPMO will investigate the incident and make recommendation to the BFAR on the outcomes of the investigations. The PFOPMO if required will also make arrangements with the observer for the reimbursement for costs associated with their travel and or any advance payments.
