Maritime Labour Convention (ILO MLC, 2006) Awareness

Course Code: REG013

Overview:

Seafarers have not always worked under acceptable conditions, which can affect their health, safety, and well-being. Because their working lives are primarily spent outside their home countries and their employers are also often based abroad, effective international standards are necessary. The ILO Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 (ILO MLC, 2006) is a comprehensive international employment convention to address seafarers’ rights to decent conditions and fair competition for shipowners.
