It is accepted that exploitation of the work force by imposing unrealistic and unsafe working hours be deemed illegal and must cease. It is accepted that even if exploitation is not prevalent, commercial compulsions that force the seafarers to work beyond safe thresholds, be deemed illegal and must cease. Contd..

4. However, governments have ratified different maritime organizations’ differing sets of regulations. Some or all of them may be applicable depending on the flag or from port to port or the rank/normal/assigned duty of the seafarer.

Administrations have been empowered to detain the vessel if conditions are violated.
