The recruitment centers are already waiting for instructions on the departure of Ukrainian mariners

As early as next week, territorial recruitment centers should receive instructions on the procedure for the departure of the seafarers from Ukraine.

The mariners who have remained in Ukraine since the beginning of the war will finally be able to start the new sailings.

“We have learned that next week the military commissars will receive instructions on the procedure for the departure of sailors,” reports the Trade Union of Maritime Transport Workers of Ukraine.

The Cabinet of Ministers adopted a resolution on permission to cross borders for seafarers who go to their workplaces at the beginning of September. Although the “painful” issue was raised for six months by both the trade union and various international organizations.

As previously reported by USM, exit permits will also be issued by territorial recruitment centers where maritime workers are registered.

The resolution also provides that seamen will be able to stay abroad no longer than the term of the employment contract.
