The International Labour Organization agrees two key proposals for amendments to the Maritime Labour Convention 2006
The International Labour Organization (ILO) in Geneva has agreed in principle two key proposals for amendments to the Maritime Labour Convention 2006 (MLC 2006) which will give seafarers better protection under the Code for repatriation and ship-owners’ liability, said in its press release.
Global maritime welfare charity The Mission to Seafarers attended the Special Tripartite Committee meeting and week-long session to debate the proposed amendments.
