dc.description.abstract

By its very nature, seafaring is a highly mobile occupation as it entails sailing across seas and oceans. Furthermore, the globalization of the shipping industry has made it commonplace that seafarers work on ships flying foreign flags and owned and managed by foreign shipping companies. It leads to a global seafarer labour market and seafarers become transnational workers. Accompanying this, however, is the rise of precarious employment – seafarers are likely to be employed on voyage contracts. In a sense, seafarers’ employment is becoming mobile. This chapter discusses some issues related to various forms of seafarers’ mobility.
