As the 20th August 2013 deadline for Maritime Labour Convention compliance is less than six months away the Club continues to build its resources for Members. Our website section ‘Maritime Labour Convention (MLC2006)’ is collating the notices and advices from ratifying states on the impending effects of their national laws on shipowners and operators in this area. Circular 8/13 was added to the collection which includes an updated set of Club FAQs explaining potential developments on cover in relation to repatriation of seafarers. The Legal Briefing “Comprehensive rights and protection at work” reviews the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) and explains the implications for Members of its adoption into national labour laws.
