UNION ship inspectors recovered more than $37 million in unpaid wages owed to seafarers in 2021, the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) has revealed in figures published recently.

The ITF's 125 inspectors and coordinators completed 7,265 inspections in 2021 to support thousands of seafarers with wage claims and repatriation cases. This despite Covid-19 restrictions preventing inspectors' ability to board ships for much of the year.
