Coastal Ferries – Labour issues

Seafarers collective agreements are valid in Greece, and are not affected by relevant legislation terminating
land labour collective agreements. So they are still valid and bind the parties thereto.

Express routes are those where the vessel sails from departing or final port within less than six hours
after arriving at such port where this occurs, or where we have round voyages more than five times per
week. In such cases seafarers are entitled to additional remuneration as per applicable Collective
Agreement.

Piraeus One membered Court of Appeal Judgment no 546/2016, Judge: Z. Karahation, Attorneys at
law: M. Stamouli, M. Leividioton-Saxoni, Maritime Law Review vol. 44, p. 323.
NOTE: Greek labour collective agreements were terminated by virtue of laws enacted during the
severe economic crisis. However, seafarer collective agreements are not affected in general and continue
to produce legal effects.
