Seafarers $120M unpaid wages recovered by ITF

Inspectors from the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) have been unsung heroes, working diligently to protect seafarers' rights. The figures published on World Maritime Day are nothing short of astounding. Between 2020 and 2022, ITF inspectors recovered a staggering USD $118,529,663 in wages owed to seafarers. That's nearly $120 million given back to those who keep our seas alive.

A Year of Triumph in 2022 Alone!

In 2022, more than USD $36 million was paid back to seafarers, marking a year of tremendous triumph. These funds were rightfully restored to the brave souls who traverse the oceans.

Advocates for Seafarers' Rights

ITF inspectors, the champions of justice on the high seas, serve as beacons of hope for seafarers. They board vessels, educate mariners about their rights, and identify any violations of crew contracts, national laws, or international conventions. They don't stop there; they work tirelessly with authorities to ensure that seafarers' rights are upheld.

2022: A Year of Reporting and Resolution

In 2022, 2,199 breach of contract cases were reported by seafarers to the ITF. The most common grievance? Non-payment of wages. Seafarers, whose dedication powers the maritime industry, sometimes faced the cruel ordeal of unpaid salaries.

ITF's Dedication in Numbers

• 8,667 ship inspections conducted worldwide in 2022.

• 1,878 of these were in response to seafarers' cries for help.

• 3,771 were routine and responsive inspections aimed at maintaining international standards.

Return to Active Inspections

Pandemic-related restrictions had temporarily slowed the pace of inspections, but ITF is witnessing a strong return to active and regular inspections. The fight for seafarers' rights continues undeterred.
