Seafarers’ rights
ILO MLC, 2006 The Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 (MLC, 2006) adopted by the International Labour Organization (ILO) is a challenge to the entire maritime community. Replacing earlier labour conventions, it regulates working and living conditions for seafarers and helps to create conditions of fair competition for shipowners. However, many open questions remain. In the first edition of Ship&Offshore TV, Editor in Chief Dr Silke Sadowski spoke with Olaf Quas, Head of Department Global Practice ISM/ISPS/MLC, 2006 at Germanischer Lloyd (GL), about the most relevant aspects of MLC, 2006.
