Seafarer wage hikes hit Asian flags
Coastal trading vessels in Asia flying flags such as Singapore, Malaysia and
Japan are set to be hit with hefty increases
in crewing costs, according to the latest issue of Seatrade Asia Week. The
International Transport Workers
Federation’s (ITF) congress in Mexico next week is set to push through new
benchmark pay rates for foreign nationals
serving on national flag ships. The minimum average pay rate per ship on the
Singapore Registry, for example, is
expected to jump 17% to $42,326 from the current International Labour
Organisation minimum, with the minimum
pay rate set to increase a hefty 60% by 2014. Source: Seatradeasia-Online
