Main Issues

Whether a seafarer management agency that conducts general management of seafarers is an employer of a seafarer subject to such management.

Summary of Judgment

Where the owner of a ship has a supervisory authority on board the ship, supervises the seafarers, has the power to dismiss the ship, and bears all responsibility, such as paying wages and compensation to the seafarers. On the other hand, the seafarer management agency shall conduct general management for the seafarers by soliciting the seafarers corresponding to the request of the owner of the ship, paying the wages, etc. received from the owner of the ship, and resolving the request and proposal of the seafarers, and in return, receives the fees from the owner of the ship, the seafarer management agency cannot be said to be an employer of the seafarer because it is not in fact or objectively related to the direction and supervision of the seafarers on board the ship.

Since Nonparty 2’s employer is the defendant company’s employee, the defendant company asserted that it is liable for all damages suffered by the plaintiffs in their personal relations with the plaintiff 1 and 2 due to the above illegal act.
