In relation to broader employment rights. It is important to note that many seafarers with strong connections to Great Britain are already entitled to British employment rights and would be entitled to protections in the Bill. This would include seafarers who ordinarily work in the territorial waters of Great Britain. The courts would also consider how seafarers who spend some time working outside GB would be covered. These legal tests ensure that those seafarers who have such a strong connection that they would expect to be covered by GB law are indeed protected.
