On 21 May 2013, ISWAN held a seminar on port levies and seafarers' welfare: How can port levies help deliver welfare provisions in the MLC, 2006? The seminar was attended by around 30 representatives from welfare organisations, unions, shipping companies and government.
This report on the seminar provides insights into the diverse opinions shared in relation to port levies, and some of the more nuanced arguments about the role of levies. The report includes an outline guide for good practice on port levies, which was developed by seminar participants.
