Abstract

The seafarers’ employment agreement is one of the most specific ones. Seafarers are a special category of workers, because their place of work is also their place of living. Working conditions differ in many ways from the working and living conditions of workers in other economic activities performed on land. Therefore, the legal regulation of the seafarers’ employment status is particularly important. The greatest
success in these terms was made with the adoption of the Maritime Labor Convention (MLC), 2006, which was ratified by the Republic of Croatia in February 2010. In the Republic of Croatia there is no legal act in full regulating working, social and living conditions since such provisions are contained in several regulations. Collective agreements are particularly important acts. Two such collective agreements are in
force in the Republic of Croatia - the National Collective Agreement for Croatian Seafarers on Passenger Ships and Ferries concluded in 1998 and the National Collective Agreement for Croatian Seafarers on Ships in the International Shipping Trade (2021-2022), which has been in force since 2021. In this paper, the authors give an overview of the Seafarers’ Labour Convention, characteristics of the concept and process of collective bargaining. They in particular analyze the applicable collective agreement with focus on the National Collective Agreement for Croatian Seafarers in the International Shipping Trade (2021-2022).
