Labour Organization (ILO) in February
2006. It sets out seafarers’ rights to
decent conditions of work and helps to
create conditions of fair competition for
shipowners. The MLC, 2006, has been
designed to become the ‘‘fourth pillar’’
of the international regulatory regime
for quality shipping complementing the
key conventions of the International
Maritime Organization (IMO), such as
the International Convention for the
Safety of Life at Sea, 1974, as amended
(SOLAS), the International Convention
on Standards of Training, Certification
and Watchkeeping, 1978, as amended
(STCW), and the International
Convention for the Prevention of
Pollution from Ships, 73/78 (MARPOL).
The MLC, 2006, contains a
comprehensive set of global standards,
based on those that are already found in
68 maritime labour instruments adopted
by the ILO since 1920.
Meeting Agenda: The purpose of this
meeting is to provide the industry with
an overview of the MLC, 2006, and to
help clarify areas that may require
additional interpretation. This meeting
is strictly informational and it is not
meant to discuss the merits of
ratification of the MLC, 2006. The
tentative agenda of the meeting is:
• Introduction to the MLC, 2006;
• Seafarer’s perspective;
• Shipowner’s perspective;
• Overview of the MLC, 2006;
• United States Process for
ratification.
Procedural
