Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many shipping companies have signed the Seafarers Charter.
The Seafarers’ Charter was introduced to improve working conditions for seafarers aboard ferries operating internationally from UK ports. Four major international ferry operators have signed up to working towards the requirements of the Seafarers’ Charter: Brittany Ferries, Condor Ferries, DFDS and Stena Line.
