Insurance solutions for Philippine crew

Philippine law provides extensive stipulations for Philippine persons working outside their own country. This should be given due consideration if you employ Philippine crewmembers! The insurances of Anker are tailored to these regulations. As the employer of Philippine employees you are covered by insurance in case your crewmembers become ill or have an accident on board of your vessel. But also the handling of disputes via the NLRC and the outcome of court decisions are covered by our insurance.
