Inland water transport

inland water transport imageThe ILO's maritime programme also covers inland water transport. Workers in this sector are referred to as "inland boatmen".

The primary ILO instrument concerned with this occupational sector is the Hours of Work (Inland Navigation) Recommendation, 1920 (No. 8). Information on other ILO standards which may apply to inland boatmen may be found in Guidelines for Maritime Industry Labour Legislation.
