Last week, we received the Marine Labor Convention certification (MLC2006) after an extensive selection and examination process. This certification, given by the Lloyd’s Maritime Institute, aims to ensure that all the maritime workforce has access to decent working conditions.
MLC2006: What is it and why is it important?
The “MLC, 2006” Convention, which was implemented on August 20, 2013, officially became a part of international law, setting basic standards for the work and living conditions of all seafarers aboard ships. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in promoting fair competition and establishing an equitable environment. This, for reputable shipowners under the flags of countries that have ratified the convention.
