Seafarer Employment Agreements

Seafarer Employment Agreements (SEAs) are contracts between maritime employers and seafarers that outline the terms of employment at sea. These agreements specify details such as job duties, wages, working hours, and conditions for leave. Governed by maritime labor laws, SEAs ensure that seafarers' rights are protected, including fair treatment and safety standards. They are vital for promoting transparency and fairness in the maritime industry, ensuring that both parties understand their responsibilities and rights while working on ships.
