Maritime Levy Campaign

About the Project

Seafarers move 90% of the worlds goods around the globe.

They work in difficult and sometimes dangerous conditions. But because they are out at sea, they are out of sight and often out of mind. 

Thankfully, a range of welfare organisations exist to support seafarers. They help provide some of the comfort and support that most people take for granted on land. But a properly funded and sustainable welfare sector is needed to continue providing this vital support. 

Call to Action

Human Rights at Sea urges coastal states to reinforce political will and national legislative pathways to assure sustainable and long-term welfare support in law through existing maritime levy structures.
