Port Welfare Committees

Port Welfare Committees are collaborative groups established in maritime ports to enhance the well-being of seafarers. They consist of various stakeholders, including port authorities, ship owners, local governments, and charitable organizations. Their primary aim is to ensure that sailors receive essential services such as healthcare, recreation, and support during their time in port. By improving living conditions and addressing seafarers' needs, these committees promote their welfare, safety, and overall quality of life while away from home, ultimately contributing to better working conditions in the shipping industry.
