This 4-day course brings together stakeholders (Government, Employers and Employees) in the public and private maritime sector to address changes that have prompted demands for new forms of tripartite dialogue.

The aim is to build stakeholder capacity to engage in tripartite discussions and to produce tripartite understandings and agreements for maritime labour and employees in the sector. Participants are expected from governments and private organisations in shipping companies, human resource organisations, manning agencies, seaports terminals, welfare organisations as well as oil and gas companies. Resource persons who are industry experts and those from the academia on tripartite collective bargaining agreements will deliver the sessions.

It will be delivered in persons by the Centre of Research on Employment and Work (CREW), at the Greenwich Business School, University of Greenwich, London, United Kingdom.
