About this bill
Changes to maritime and NIS laws clarify workers' terms of employment
The Ministry of Trade, Fisheries and Food Security proposes amendments to maritime labour law and the NIS law to give workers clearer and more predictable terms of employment. The changes implement EU Directive 2019/1152 on working conditions and satisfy the ILO convention on seafarers' working and living conditions. The Standing Committee on Business and Industry recommends the Storting adopt the proposal, though Progress Party members have tabled a separate bill allowing broader exceptions in the NIS law.
