The Government are committed to strengthening workers’ rights at sea and have considered carefully how best to provide meaningful improvements in protections that support a level playing field in the sector, while doing so in a way which is robust in its compliance with international law. We consider that the approach we have taken strikes the right balance but, as we continue to engage the sector and look to develop implementing regulations, the Government will consider any appropriate further opportunities to take account of the points raised. We of course continue to work with partners in the UK and internationally to improve seafarer working conditions.
