Meals, meal times and breaks. The employer is required to organise three meals and snacks a day for the employees. The food shall be nutritional, varied, tasty, sufficient in quantity, and of a high quality. The social partners in the maritime sector consider it necessary that meal and coffee breaks should be organised in ports within the following time limits, unless there are special reasons preventing this: breakfast / coffee breakfast 06.30–08.30 lunch 11.00–13.00 afternoon coffee 15.00–16.30 dinner 16.30–18.30 Meal breaks may be shortened to a minimum of a half an hour and their starting times changed by a maximum of one hour. The meal system shall be drafted jointly by the representatives of the vessel’s different departments and the chief xxxxxxx and approved by the shipmaster, and it shall be displayed in a visible location in the dining area. Those in charge of supervising work on the vessel and the chief xxxxxxx shall together, when necessary, plan a meal system that is appropriate and creates as little disturbance as possible, and they shall also communicate the meal breaks to the vessel’s shopkeepers, stowage personnel etc. When necessary, meals should be served in several sittings (half-­‐hour turns). If for some reason (e.g. special port conditions) it is necessary to deviate from the ordinary meal system, the kitchen staff and those most closely responsible for supervising the different staff groups shall be notified as soon as possible. If an employee is required to work overtime during the period between 18.00 and 06.00, the employee shall have a ten-­‐minute break after every two hours of work and the break shall be counted as working time. After every four hours of work, the employee shall have a half-­‐hour coffee break that is not counted as working time. This shall not apply to emergency and safety duty. If a cargo vessel arrives in port on a public holiday or an eve of a public holiday and the vessel berths before 10.00, afternoon meals are served according to the same procedure as on public holidays or on the eves of public holidays when the vessel is in port. This shall also apply to anchorages and berths where the vessel is loaded or unloaded. The Seamen’s Working Hours Act includes provisions on minimum periods of rest, entering the rest periods in the relevant registers, and participation in fire-­‐ fighting, rescue and other safety drills.
