Das Heuerverhaltnis Unter Dem Seearbeitsgesetz: Das Arbeitsverhaltnis Auf See, Seine Geschichte Und Seine Besonderheiten Im Internationalen Kontext

»The Seafarer's Employment Relationship under the German Maritime Labour Act - Labour at Sea, its History and its Particularities in an International Context«This book provides a comprehensive review of current German maritime labour law, first tracing the turbulent history of labour at sea and then outlining, in handbook fashion, the most important practical issues of the German Maritime Labor Act. These range from the scope of application, to the conclusion of contracts and the special features of offshore work, to port state control. The book shows in a practice-oriented manner how the provisions of the Maritime Labor Act - most of which have evolved historically - are to be interpreted against the background of international requirements and the national requirement of harmonization with land labor law.
