unstar this property answer text <p>In 2023, the Government passed the Seafarers’ Wages Act to address this issue. Based on data and assumptions used in the Seafarers’ Wages Act 2023 impact assessment (<a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/62e2aa8ed3bf7f75af0923d5/seafarers-wages-impact-assessment.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/62e2aa8ed3bf7f75af0923d5/seafarers-wages-impact-assessment.pdf</a>), the Department for Transport estimates that there are 9,400 non-qualifying seafarers working on vessels in scope of the Seafarers Wages Act 2023. A non-qualifying seafarer is defined as all other seafarers on vessels within scope of The Seafarers’ Wages Act 2023, that do not directly benefit from the policy, because it is estimated that they are not currently at risk of being paid below the National Minimum Wage equivalent (NMWe).</p><p>An updated version of the impact assessment will be published in due course.</p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this

unstar this property answer text <p>The increase in seafarers employed by UK Chamber of Shipping members in 2023 is driven by an increased number of Ratings and Uncertificated Officers. This trend can be affected by a number of factors, including new companies joining and leaving the UK Chamber of Shipping. In 2023, the increase in Ratings was driven by an increase in reporting by a single cruise company.</p><p> </p> more like this

unstar this property answer text <p>The Department for Transport remains committed to growing the UK seafaring population and promoting the Merchant Navy as a career choice. The Department is future proofing seafarer training through the Cadet Training and Modernisation programme and the Ratings Review. The Department funds 50% of the cost of cadet training through the Support for Maritime Training fund and is supporting diversity through initiatives such as the Roadshow for Girls, which promotes STEM and maritime careers.</p><p>The Department has also amended UK legislation, increasing seafarer employment protections and allowing UK seafarers to compete for jobs on a level playing field. We continue to promote seafarer welfare and employment protection on the international stage. Our policies ensure foreign seafarers are paid a fair wage when working in the UK. UK visa policies further protect foreign seafarers from wage differential and reduce industry reliance on cheaper overseas labour at the expense of UK seafarers.</p><p> </p>
