Wage and Working Hours Legislation

Wage and Working Hours Legislation in maritime labor laws regulates how much seafarers should earn and the hours they can work. It ensures that sailors receive fair wages and that their working hours do not exceed legal limits, promoting safe and humane working conditions. These laws aim to protect seafarers from exploitation, ensuring they have adequate rest and are paid fairly for their labor. Overall, this legislation helps foster a sustainable and respectful work environment on ships, balancing the demands of maritime operations with the rights and well-being of the crew.
