With the aim of creating a single, coherent instrument that consolidates nearly all previously existing maritime labour standards, as well as the fundamental principles to be found in other International Labour Conventions, the 94th International Labour Conference held in Geneva adopted the Maritime Labour Convention in February 2006.
This new instrument is designed to secure the widest possible acceptability among governments, ship owners and seafarers committed to the principles of decent work.
Maritime Labour Convention applies to all ships, whether publicly or privately owned, ordinarily engaged in commercial activities, other than ships engaged in fishing and ships of traditional build and to all seafarers working onboard those ships.
The content of this course covers the requirements of Maritime Labour Convention included in 5 Titles:
- Requirements for seafarers to work on a ship.
- Conditions of employment.
- Accommodation, recreational facilities, food and catering.
- Health protection, welfare, medical care and social protection.
- Compliance and enforcement.
