I am not all that sure you are going to find an industry "Standard".
Every program is different, based on the desires and demeanor of the owner.
It sounds as if you were very clear about your expectations with your captain, and those expectations were violated. You have two choices: Find another captain, or have a serious and frank discussion with the current captain, letting him know that you have made your expectations clear, and that another infraction will result in termination of his employment.
If you decide to keep the current captain, you are going to have to "trust, but verify". Which, I guess you must do with any individual you are giving responsibility for a major asset.
If you are going to fire your captain for this transgression, don't say that he violated an industry standard, and all these nice people here on this internet forum agreed with "your gut". Instead, just say that he violated your work rules. Plain and simple.
