Seafarers' Bill of RightsMLC 2006
The Maritime Labour Convention 2006 (MLS), also referred to as the ‘Seafarers’ Bill of Rights’ is an international agreement of the International Labour Organization (ILO). The convention applies to all seafarers, including those with jobs in hotels and other passenger services on cruise ships and commercial yachts and sets out employees’ rights to decent conditions of labor establishing minimum working and living standards for all seafarers working on ships flying the flags of ratifying countries. The MLC sets minimum requirements for nearly every aspect of working and living conditions for seafarers including recruitment and placement practices, conditions of employment, hours of work and rest, repatriation, annual leave, payment of wages, accommodation, recreational facilities, food and catering, health protection, occupational safety and health, medical care, onshore welfare services and social protection. In 2013, 30 countries adopted the MLC Labor Convention into law and following this by January 2019 a total of 90 countries had accepted the MLC 2006 thereby regulating more than 90% of the world’s shipping industry.
