Working time in the marine and waterways sectors

The IWR inland waterways regulations closely follow the WTR definition. So too do the FVR sea fishing regulations although they omit the third point allowing working time to be defined by relevant agreement. The seafarers’ SHWR regulations are simpler still, referring not to working time but to “hours of work” defined as time during which a seafarer is required to do work on the business of the ship.
