The Seafarer Employment Agreement is a mandatory document required under Philippine law for all Filipino seafarers working on international vessels. It must comply with the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) standards, the Maritime Labour Convention 2006, and other relevant international maritime conventions. The agreement covers essential aspects of maritime employment including rank, wages, working hours, benefits, and repatriation terms. This document is crucial for the Philippines' maritime sector, as the country is one of the world's largest suppliers of seafarers. The agreement must be verified and approved by the POEA before deployment, ensuring protection of seafarer rights while facilitating legitimate maritime employment opportunities.
