Summary

On 2026-10-28, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism announced a meeting to deliberate on revising minimum wages in maritime passenger transport. The announcement concerns the second meeting of the Maritime Passenger Transport Minimum Wage Expert Committee under the Seafarers Committee of the Maritime Subcommittee of the Transport Policy Council; the title does not establish that a revision has been adopted.

Business Impact

Maritime passenger transport operators and seafarers in that sector may be affected by any resulting minimum-wage revision, but the title provides no proposed rates or implementation dates.

Recommended Action

Reviewing the official announcement would help clarify the meeting date, the scope of the minimum-wage deliberations and any supporting proposals.
