Seafarer Welfare Council
Maritime NZ established the New Zealand Seafarer Welfare Council to drive positive change within the seafarer welfare sector. It was created with the help of an advisory group also set up by Maritime NZ.
Council membership is made up of a balance of industry, government, union and service delivery organisations.
The purpose of the Council is to provide guidance and leadership to ensure that New Zealand continues to meet its obligations in relation to seafarer welfare under the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC).
