In 2023, the Government passed the Seafarers\u2019 Wages Act to address this issue. Based on data and assumptions used in the Seafarers\u2019 Wages Act 2023 impact assessment (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\u2019 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>

An updated version of the impact assessment will be published in due course.<\/p>

The Department of Transport commission the UK Chamber of Shipping to carry out the Seafarer Employment Survey of its membership, collecting information on the seafarers the companies employ.
