Contracts of Employment at Sea

Seafarers form the backbone of the maritime industry, and their contracts of employment define not only their working conditions but also their rights, responsibilities, and protections under international law.

The Contracts of Employment at Sea programme provides an in-depth exploration of the legal, operational, and ethical dimensions of maritime employment. It bridges international conventions such as the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC 2006) with practical applications, ensuring participants undoubtedly understand how to draft, manage, and enforce fair and compliant contracts.

So, through case studies, group exercises, and interactive workshops, participants will certainly gain practical insight into effective contract management and dispute resolution, while fostering collaboration among seafarers, shipping companies, and manning agencies.
