The Ship to Shore Rights South East Asia: Safe migration for decent work in the blue economy is a EU-funded initiative of the UN led by the International Labour Organization (ILO).

The project seeks to engage a consultant to provide technical assistance to the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) in reviewing the Rules and Regulations governing the recruitment and placement of migrant fishers in line with ILO international labour standards, including the Work in Fishing Convention, 2007 (No. 188) and the Private Employment Agencies Convention, 1997 (No. 181).

The main expected outputs from the assessment are as follows:
