In addition, under the amended provisions, ships
are required to carry certificates or other documents
indicating that financial security exists “whether it be
in the form of a social-security scheme or insurance
or a national fund or other similar arrangement”,109
to protect seafarers working on board. Failure to do
that may cause the ship to be detained in a port.
The amendments were approved by the International
Labour Conference, which was held in June 2014.110
