Seafarers' Acts

Seafarers' Acts are laws that regulate the rights, working conditions, and protections of sailors and maritime workers. They ensure fair wages, safe working environments, and proper treatment, reflecting international standards like the Maritime Labour Convention. These acts also specify legal obligations for ship owners and employers, including provisions for health, safety, and welfare. By establishing clear rules, Seafarers' Acts aim to safeguard the interests of seafarers, promote fair employment practices, and uphold human rights within the maritime industry.
