The study on social aspects within the maritime transport sector assessed how the social dimension of maritime transport has developed and progressed since the ad hoc Task Force on Maritime Employment and Competitiveness presented its final report in 2011, which included recommendations of both legislative and non-legislative nature.
The objective of study was to identify topics and potential initiatives (including both legislative and non-legislative) which can contribute to ensure adequate working and living conditions of seafarers and to guarantee the attractiveness of the seafarer profession.
The study required approaching national authorities, social partners, maritime stakeholders and academia and other stakeholders for feedback and other input.
