Introductory Section 2: Non-qualifying seafarers
Section 2 sets out who is a non-qualifying seafarer for the purposes of the Act. "Non-qualifying seafarer" means a person who works on a ship providing a service to which the Act applies, whose work on that ship is carried out in relation to the provision of the service and who fails to qualify for the NMW in respect of that work merely because, for the purposes of the 1998 Act, the person does not work, or does not ordinarily work, in the United Kingdom.
