Petition update, 27 November 2009

More details from petition creator

The rules governing SED should be changed. Any day onboard ship should be classed as a Q day, Also the Half day rule should be scrapped. The Requirement to visit a foreign port should also be removed.

Changing these rules would encourage more people to consider a career at sea, and would also help with personnel retention
