The shipowner may employ a crew member only on the basis of a valid seafarer employment agreement (Section 28), and persons below the age of 16 or subject to compulsory full-time schooling may not be employed as crew members (Section 10). A crew member must document medical fitness for sea service before taking up activity through a certificate issued by an authorised physician (Section 12). The Act regulates hours of work and rest, with the hours of work at sea of crew members assigned to watchkeeping duties not to exceed eight hours per day as a rule (Sections 42 to 55), together with provisions on accommodation, food and the maritime labour certificate.",
