Sažetak
The reasons for differences in length of seafarers' employment contracts lie in the navigation characteristics of a particular branch of the maritime industry, in the difficulty degree and in the responsibility of seafarers in fulfilling work tasks. The maritime industry recognized these factors during normal navigation, but during the COVID 19 pandemic it was not easy to respond to challenges suddenly posed by the pandemic. One of these challenges relates to seafarers' repatriation and finding ways that allow seafarers to return to their homes after the expiration of their contract or to take up their duties on board. The list of procedures for maritime crew changes varies from port to port. In most regulations COVID 19 tests are mandatory, while the test result and other travel data must be visible in the so-called 'Fit For Travel' certificate. Certain countries require 'Stay Home Notice', in other words a quarantine for seafarers before embark and disembark, while some require all mentioned including the quarantine upon embark. In order to clarify regulations concerning seafarers' repatriation, the European Union contributed in facilitating crew changes and repatriation of seafarers adopting Guidelines on protection of health, repatriation and travel arrangements for seafarers, passengers and other persons on board ships, which prescribe that seafarers should be able to travel to the ports where they need to embark and be allowed to disembark and return home.
