This new deal is a win-win for both shipowners and seafarers.<\/p>\n<p>It strikes a balance between rewarding seafarers for their incredible contributions to the global economy and ensures, at the same time, that shipping companies are able to remain sustainable and commercially viable, in light of the many challenges we are currently facing and those that lie ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mark Dickinson (Nautilus International), Spokesperson for the seafarers group, added:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday\u2019s agreement recognises the huge sacrifices and professionalism of the men and women working at sea and is a testament to the collective milestones the social partnership between seafarers and shipowners have historically achieved.
