RECOVERS USD $8.5 MILLION IN OWED WAGES FOR SEAFARERS<\/strong><\/p>\n<h6>27 May 2025<\/h6>\n<p>The Panama Maritime Authority (PMA) has strengthened its collaborative ties with the International Transport Workers\u2019 Federation (ITF) during a recent visit by ITF delegates to the General Directorate of Seafarers (DGGM). The meeting focused on reinforcing the protection and well-being of seafarers sailing under the Panamanian flag.<\/p>\n<p>A central highlight of the meeting was the DGGM\u2019s significant achievement in recovering <strong>USD $8.5 million in outstanding wages<\/strong> for seafarers by the end of 2024. This figure marks a <strong>52.70% increase<\/strong> compared to the previous year\u2019s recovery of USD $5,593,941.82\u2014underscoring Panama\u2019s commitment as a responsible maritime administration to ensuring decent work and compliance with international labor standards.<\/p>\n<p>PMA\u2019s proactive approach was further demonstrated through its handling of <strong>271 inquiries and 312 labor-related complaints<\/strong> in 2024, which facilitated the <strong>safe repatriation of 368 crew members<\/strong> of various nationalities. These efforts were made possible through effective coordination with shipowners, operators, and Protection &#038; Indemnity (P&#038;I) Clubs. Additionally, the DGGM conducted <strong>343 maritime labor inspections<\/strong> aboard both domestic and international service vessels.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead to the remainder of 2025, the PMA reaffirms its commitment to the rigorous enforcement of national regulations and international conventions ratified by Panama, including the <strong>International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW), as amended, and the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006, as amended (MLC 2006)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Steve Trowsdale, ITF Inspectorate Coordinator, commended Panama\u2019s efforts\u2014particularly its management of labor complaints and the recovery of owed wages. He emphasized the productive nature of the dialogue, noting the value of exchanging perspectives and identifying areas for improvement, all in pursuit of a shared goal: safeguarding the rights and welfare of seafarers.<\/p>\n<p>The ITF delegation also included Edgar Ortiz, ITF Regional Secretary for the Americas; Vladimir Small Ortiz, ITF National Coordinator and member of the Union of Marine Engineers (UIM); and Bernardo Campos, retired UIM member. The group was welcomed by senior officials from the DGGM.<\/p>\n<p>This engagement highlights the importance of sustained collaboration between the PMA and ITF in ensuring fair treatment and proper working conditions for seafarers\u2014with a particular emphasis on the timely resolution of wage claims and labor disputes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"heateor_sss_sharing_container
