Seafarer's Employment Agreement

A Seafarer’s Employment Agreement (SEA) is a legal contract between a ship's crew member and their employer. It outlines the terms of employment, including the duration of the contract, the duties of the seafarer, wages, working conditions, and benefits. The SEA ensures that seafarers know their rights and responsibilities while at sea. It provides protections for both the worker and the employer, helping to ensure fair treatment and compliance with maritime laws. Essentially, it serves as a formal agreement that governs the employment relationship within the shipping industry.
