Italian Parliament approves new ruling to ease entry of non-EU seafarers. Yacht crew who arrive in Italy now have the opportunity to obtain a long-term entry visa for reasons of work. UPDATE - EU Stamping In and Out To All news 31 May 2022 Over the past few months, yacht crew entering Italy have been experiencing real difficulties to be "stamped out" to board their vessels. This was due to the strict application of a February 2020 decision of the European Court of Justice by Italian port authorities. Thanks to successful government relations actions by a number of yachting and cruising organisations (Genova for Yachting, Federagenti, Confindustria Nautica, Assarmatori and Confitarma), the Italian Parliament has recently adopted a rule whereby non-EU yacht crew arriving in Italy will be able to obtain a long-term work visa for up to 365 days. The details of the visa issuance procedures are still being developed and the PYA will keep you informed as soon as we know more.

It consists of a network of navigators, vessels, rescue centres, port authorities, dive centres, research organizations and more, which is committed to creating a safer, cleaner and healthier sea. Whoever signs-up to the network immediately becomes part of a wider collaboration. What are Ghost FADS?

The Cayman Islands Ship Registry (CISR) now requires written contracts for all crew members on Cayman-flagged yachts, including private vessels. This is a major first in the yachting industry and sets a strong example for better working conditions at sea. Cayman Islands Flag Makes Waves: New Law Protects Yacht Crew To All news 14 March 2024 The Cayman Islands, a popular registry for luxury yachts, has taken a big step towards crew welfare with a brand new law. The Cayman Islands Ship Registry (CISR) now requires written contracts for all crew members on Cayman-flagged yachts, including private vessels . This is a major first in the yachting industry and sets a strong example for better working conditions at sea. What Changed? Many crew members, especially on smaller yachts, don't have formal employment contracts. This can lead to confusion and disagreements about pay, work hours, and other important aspects of their jobs. Now, with a written contract in place, everyone is on the same page. The contract clearly outlines the crew member's rights and responsibilities, along with the yacht owner's obligations. This helps to ensure fair treatment and a more professional work environment for all. What This Means for Yacht Owners and Crew If you own a Cayman-flagged yacht, you'll need to have a written contract for each crew member. The CISR will be checking for compliance during surveys, and failing to provide a contract could be considered a violation of maritime law. For crew members, this new regulation is a positive development. It guarantees a clear understanding of their employment terms and provides essential protections. How You Can Get Help The Professional Yachting Association (PYA) supports yacht crew members in navigating this change. Here are some resources we offer: Free Contract Templates: PYA members have access to downloadable contract templates that follow industry best practices. ( https://www.pya.org/knowledge-base/employment-contracts ) Understanding the Regulations: The CISR website provides detailed guidance notes on the revised Merchant Shipping Act, including the new contract requirement. ( https://www.cishipping.com/policy-advice/guidance-notes ) Look for the first guidance note under "Policy & Advice". The PYA is here to answer any questions you may have about crew employment contracts. Feel free to contact us at advice@pya.org for further assistance.
