Since we issued Marine notice 04/2020 on 26 June 2020, we have received a large number of Maritime Labour Convention complaints.
These complaints relate to the main themes in the notice.
These are:
- Seafarers serving at sea with expired Seafarer Employment Agreements.
- No plans for the repatriation of seafarers after their employment agreements expire.
- The amount of time spent on board by a seafarer being in excess of 11 months.
