10,956 inflatable life vests.
2. Upgrading facilities: Onshore
The Fisheries Agency has added 23 bath and rest facilities for crew use
at domestic ports since 2021. Additionally, four shore power installations
and two affordable accommodations for crew are under construction.
3. Increased medical protection:
a. In 2022, legal amendments increased the minimum insurance
coverage for offshore foreign crew to NT$1.5 million for death
benefits and NT$300,000 for medical expenses.
b. The MOL has guided employers to raise labor insurance
enrollment rates to over 95% for domestic foreign crew.
(3) Strengthen agency management
1. Enhancing agency quality:
a. Strengthening licensing requirements: Legal amendments now
require domestic agencies to obtain permits from the MOL,
shifting license oversight to the MOL. Partner foreign agencies
must also secure permits from their respective origin countries. If
any member of an agency's crew is involved in forced labor or
human trafficking and the agency fails to meet its obligations, its
license will be revoked.
b. Improving evaluation mechanisms: Starting in 2023, the
number of evaluation committee members from human rights
advocacy groups has been increased from one to four. Additionally,
a third-party polling company has been commissioned to conduct
satisfaction surveys with crew members and operators. The survey
results are included in evaluation scores to ensure that evaluations
reflect actual service quality rather than being a mere formality.
c. Prevent false reporting of missing crew: Regulations specify
that agencies with a certain proportion or number of missing crew
cases will face a one-year suspension to deter unethical agencies
