Clause 75

If a seaman, while employed on a ship, receives any surgical or medical treatment or such dental or optical treatment (including the repair or replacement of any appliance) as cannot be postponed without impairing efficiency, the reasonable expenses thereof shall be borne by the person employing him, and if he dies while so employed and is buried or cremated outside his port of return, the expenses of his burial or cremation or the return of the body to his home shall also be borne by that person.

A compensation shall be payable by the person employing a seaman for the death of or injury to the seaman employed on a Singapore ship who is not covered under the Workmen’s Compensation Act [Cap. 354] and such compensation shall not be less than that provided under that Act.
