Will any seafarer be required to pay fees or other charges either directly or indirectly in part or in whole for gaining recruitment, placement or employment?

We do not and will not ever charge seafarers for gaining employment. The only fees the seafarer is expected to pay is the cost of obtaining a national statutory medical certificate, a national seafarers book and a passport or other similar personal travel documents. The seafarer does not have to pay for the cost of Visas.
