Respected sir,
My only son join merchant navy at DGN maritime plot no 30/28, behind sharda university, knowledge park 3, greater noida . distt.gautam budh nagar U.P. crew manager Rajvardhan rathore
091 [protected], 91 [protected].
They provide four month training at g. noida and charge Rs. 200000/.After completion of training they charge 2.6 lac for placement at linau 6 cargo ship at malaysia on 5.9.2016.
On 21.9.2016 they were on the way to ship when before 100 meters the ship the engine of the water boat was capsized near port klang jetty Selangor in kaula lumpur malaysia.Vessel`s captain, 47 year old malaysian Tan Ban Hiang and my son Zorawar Singh (20) Died in the accident.
DGN maritime had signed a contract with Shin Yang Shipping SDN .BHD.In this contract they had nothing mentioned about death compensation.This was informed to us by the PNI club Indian Correspondent.
As per Contract of Employment signed between Mr. ZORAWAR SINGH and SHIN YANG SHIPPING SDN. BHD., nowhere such Death compensation is detailed.As per malaysian rules, in view of Contract being silent for applicable Death Compensation, either Claim settlement would be carried out on basis of Law of Flag of the Vessel or Law of land of the Crew member .
In present case Flag of the Vessel is Malaysia and basis computation, applicable compensation works out to be MYR 23, 000/- ( Equivalent INR 3, 65, 010/-) .
And as per law of land of Crew member, basis Indian Workman Compensation act applicable compensation works out to be INR 8, 96, 000/-.
Since Compensation as per Indian law is much higher as compared to Malaysian law, Club( PNI) has agreed to pay Full and Final Settlement Insurance amount of INR 8, 96, 000/- But according to our Knowledge
22.2 The provisions for article 21.5 shall also apply in the case of compensation for the loss of death in service as specified in the article.
To the nominated beneficiary US$[protected]
To Each dependent child maximum 4 under the age of 18= US$ 19770
Our grudges against the academy also include that they do not give training for swimming to their candidates.They do not provide life jackets in the boat while in sea during high tide.
I and my wife are working in private firm and have spent all our saving for sending our son to Malaysia.
You are requested to look into the matter.We are not able to get our son back We just can hope for justice from DGN for our old age.
It is our humble request to please proceed in favorable manners to settle the claim with DGN at UD$ 98846 .
Thanks.
Tejpal Singh (Father)
