    Laws and Regulations Concerning Seafarers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Vessels engaged in international voyages are subject to the laws of their flag state in accordance with international conventions. Seafarers on Japanese-flagged vessels, regardless of nationality, are subject to many Japanese laws (Seafarers Act, Mariners Act, Seafarers Employment Security Act, etc.), requiring various procedures such as obtaining qualifications and submitting notifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Foreign seafarers on Japanese merchant ships are subject to collective labor agreements concluded between international seafarer employer organizations and labor union federations. Employers must promptly handle various procedures, from pre-departure government procedures to applications and notifications for each embarkation\/disembarkation. Seafarers themselves must also process ongoing applications and notifications during short port stays or shore leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Japan Marine Science provides total support for these applications and notifications, reducing the time and effort required for clients.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n
