<p>National Minimum Wage (NMW) legislation applies to those who work or ordinarily work in the UK, as well as to some workers on UK-registered ships. We have a proud record of ex-tending the NMW to seafarers.</p><p>In October 2020, legislation came into force to extend the minimum wage to all seafarers on domestic voyages in the UK territorial sea or UK section of the continental shelf.</p><p>We will continue to consider the needs of all sectors of the economy and take measures where these are needed, taking an evidence-based approach if any further changes to the NMW legislation are needed.</p>
