The European Transport Workers’ Federation (ETF) has issued a strong call towards the EU to push for policy shifts to address the ongoing crises in the transport sector. 

The European Community Shipowners’ Associations (ECSA) and the European Transport Workers Federation (ETF), the European social partners for maritime transport, join forces to launch the ‘Seafarers Go Digital’ initiative.

The European Transport Workers’ Federation (ETF) and the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) are calling on European Union (EU) Member States to quickly introduce strong domestic supply chain due diligence laws to protect transport workers from corporate abuse.

The European Transport Workers’ Federation (ETF) has published the Dockers and Seafarers Manifesto, to advocate for socially sustainable shipping and port sectors in Europe.

The global shipping industry is currently facing a significant challenge as tensions escalate in the Red Sea region, forcing companies and organisations to take action. 

Breakwave Advisors in partnership with ETF Managers Group LLC, announced that the Breakwave Tanker Shipping ETF (BWET) will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

ETF urged for the eradication of social dumping practices in Inland Waterways Transport (IWT), saying that IWT functions without having flag state legislation.

According to ETF, the European Commission is expected to release two important reports in early 2023: the Action plan to conserve fisheries resources and protect marine ecosystems and the Report on the functioning of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP).

In the context of the EU co-funded WESS project , ECSA and ETF are committed to assessing shipboard living and working conditions with a view to taking action to contribute to an “attractive, smart and sustainable environment onboard”.

A report by ETF and ECSA named “Enhanced participation of women in European shipping – The opportunity to increase gender balance in the EU maritime sector,” aims to address the issue of women seafarers being underrepresented in the industry.
