ILO/IMO Joint Database on Abandonment of Seafarers
The ILO/IMO Joint Database on Abandonment of Seafarers is a collaborative effort to tackle the urgent problem of seafarers being abandoned in ports around the world. Whether as a result of unpaid wages, repatriation costs, or being left without food and medical care, these abandoned seafarers and fishers face real challenges. This regularly updated database helps authorities and the maritime community monitor abandonment cases and take swift action to support and protect those affected.
