Summary
Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Ordinance No. 82 of 2026 amends the Regulations for Enforcement of the Seafarers Act and other ordinances. This listing identifies the amended instrument as the Ministerial Ordinance on Johkasou Installation Technicians (Ministry of Construction Ordinance No. 17 of 1984), with promulgation and effective dates both stated as 2026-10-01.
Business Impact
Johkasou installation technicians may be affected because the listed amended instrument specifically concerns them, rather than seafarers alone as the headline might suggest. The metadata does not specify the substantive changes.
Recommended Action
