In an increasingly interconnected maritime world, a seafarer’s career is no longer confined to national waters. The Seafarers Worker India Federation (SWIF) leverages its robust global network to connect Indian talent with premier opportunities across the marine industry worldwide. Our aim is to ensure that while you gain international exposure, your rights and welfare remain paramount.

Powered by ITF Affiliation:

Our direct affiliation with the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) is the cornerstone of our global reach. This connection provides:

• Access to International Employers: SWIF members gain access to a curated list of ethical and MLC-compliant shipping companies operating globally, often with ITF-approved collective bargaining agreements.

• Global Advocacy: Should any issue arise in a foreign port—be it wage disputes, contractual breaches, or unsafe working conditions—the vast network of ITF inspectors and affiliate unions can swiftly intervene on your behalf.

Diverse Global Opportunities:

SWIF’s network allows us to provide verified job openings across all major maritime segments internationally:

• Cargo Vessels: From bulk carriers to container ships traversing major trade routes.

• Cruise Liners: Roles in hospitality, deck, and engine departments on luxury passenger ships.
