20,000 seafarers remain trapped inside the Strait of #Hormuz, facing fear and uncertainty, cut off from their families, and in many cases running short of food, water and fuel.
#Seafarers have been killed and injured in attacks in a war zone they did not choose to enter. They’re workers largely from the Global South, far from home, carrying the world's cargo.

The government has launched a consultation on new laws to strengthen protections for thousands of #seafarers working on regular routes between the #UK, France and the Channel Islands. The proposals would extend rights beyond UK territorial waters, including pay equivalent to at least the National Minimum Wage for entire journeys, limits on working hours and guaranteed rest periods.
The measures build on existing seafarer wage legislation and wider employment reforms aimed at improving workplace protections. The #government says the changes are intended to improve pay, safety and working conditions across the sector.
It also confirmed that DFDS, Brittany Ferries and Stena Line have achieved Seafarers’ Charter Status after meeting higher standards on welfare, pay and working conditions. P&O Ferries was found to have met all but one of the charter’s requirements, relating to social welfare provision.

🗨️ It's important to add that an unconfirmed seizure/hijacking of a boat by Israeli soldiers - accompanied by a loss of signal (radio/AIS) - could also mean that the crew or the vessel has run into distress at sea:
⚠️ Ships in the vicinity of these #sailing vessels are therefore obliged to render assistance!
This applies to all types of vessels, including those within the #gaza fleet -
Here, too, human lives are at stake, so listen up, radio traffic!

📌 🌐 🚢 Keep in mind: Every #boat captain (or shipmaster) has the right to self-defense in the event of an attack on vessel and passengers -
This is the #lawofthesea - therefore, one need not surrender oneself, as often assumed in the #media - Not even if an unidentified military unit attempts to board
⚠️ Military (or coast guard) may order a vessel to change course while within its sovereign territory
