Port State Maritime Labour Convention (MLC Standards)

The Port State MLC standards course focuses on the Maritime Labour Convention 2006, tailored for Port State Control Officers (PSCOs) worldwide. It addresses the critical need for specialised training, highlighted by the increase in PSC MLC-related detentions. Participants will delve into the requirements, challenges, and best practices for audits and inspections under this convention.

Key aspects include understanding MLC 2006's mandatory requirements, exploring shipboard contractual, living, and working conditions, and learning how to conduct port state inspections of foreign vessels effectively. The course provides essential knowledge on labour welfare policies, working hours, health and safety, and fairness in shipping. PSCOS must ensure compliance and promote maritime justice and safety in the global shipping industry.
