This comes as the general manager of Samoa Shipping Services, which oversees the training and recruitment of sailors to work, mainly on cruise ships, revealed 10 sailors have lost their contracts for theft, sexual harassment, disorderly conduct, and alcohol and drug abuse.
The Samoa Observer reports Lautimu'ia Uelese Va'ai made the statement while speaking to 29 new sailors before they left last Saturday to start new contracts in Italy.
He warned them to be mindful of the consequences of their actions and advised them to "use the opportunities wisely".
