1118-Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) Awareness

The "Maritime Labour Convention" course offers a comprehensive exploration of the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) 2006, a critical international standard developed by the International Labour Organization (ILO). The Convention aims to secure fair and decent working and living conditions for seafarers globally, addressing a broad range of issues from employment agreements to onboard medical care. The course provides essential insights into the rights of seafarers and the obligations of shipowners and governments under the MLC, emphasizing the convention's significance as the "fourth pillar" of international maritime regulations alongside SOLAS, MARPOL, and STCW.

Learners will gain a clear understanding of the MLC’s structure, key provisions, and practical implementation strategies, equipping them with the knowledge to promote compliance, uphold seafarers’ rights, and contribute to a safer, more humane maritime work environment.
