\"SRI-App-Visual\"Seafarers facing legal problems can now obtain immediate information concerning their rights, wherever they are in the world, with a new app formally launched today by Seafarers\u2019 Rights International (SRI) after three months of user testing.<\/p>\n

Deirdre Fitzpatrick, Executive Director of SRI said: \u201cSeafarers need tangible support 24\/7. There are many good companies and maritime administrations who provide seafarers with assistance and support with regard to their human rights. However where that is not the case, this app will provide a lifeline for seafarers. The app has been designed to operate offline so that seafarers can access information at all times. It is compatible with iPhone, iPad, Android and Blackberry devices.<\/p>\n

The app has a unique \u2018Find a Lawyer\u2019 tool which gives immediate access to a database of lawyers around the world who have signed up to the SRI Charter – a statement of good practice in the provision of legal services to seafarers – and who may be able to offer assistance to seafarers facing criminal prosecution.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brian Orrell OBE, Chairman of the Advisory Board of SRI said:
\n\u201cIt is important that the work of SRI gets directly to seafarers. This is why this practical advice is now being made available on an app, and we are also producing on-line education materials free of charge for seafarers to raise their awareness around subjects relevant to their working lives. This education will ensure that seafarers\u2019 rights are real and meaningful for them.\u201d<\/p>\n
