The most important and comprehensive international
instrument negotiated at ILO, the MLC 2006, which
consolidates and updates more than 68 international
labour standards relating to seafarers, and sets out
their responsibilities and rights with regard to labour
and social matters in the maritime sector, entered
into force on 20 August 2013. It currently has 65
member States, representing over 80 per cent of the
world’s global shipping tonnage, and is considered
as the fourth pillar of the global maritime regulatory
regime. Therefore, the review of the implementation of
the MLC on a regular basis, as well as consultations
regarding any necessary updates to it, are very
important. Worth noting are the 2014 amendments
to the MLC aimed at ensuring that adequate financial
security is provided by flag States to cover the costs of
abandonment of seafarers as well as claims for death
and long-term disability due to occupational injury and
hazards, thus providing relief to seafarers and their
families and improving the quality of shipping overall.
