AMSA payments (including levies) and some forms will be offline for short periods on Tuesday 19 November between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm. We apologise for the inconvenience.
Seafarers’ rights and welfare must be respected to ensure a healthy, safe and secure work environment.
Seafarers who have more job security, trust, and support at work report higher levels of wellbeing and compliance to safety rules and procedures, and a more developed safety culture.
Owners and operators should strive to increase the levels of support seafarers receive and ensure fair terms of employment are being delivered. This is an effective approach to reducing employees’ job insecurity and its associated negative consequences6.
AMSA expects owners and operators to comply with the MLC requirements and adhere to the seafarer’s work agreement.
