MLC 2006 for Shorebased Personnel Training Course

Description

The Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 or MLC 2006 has become the "fourth pillar" of the international regulatory regime for quality shipping. MLC 2006 brings together minimum standards for a safe and secure workplace and fair terms of employment. MLC 2006 also secures decent working and living conditions and health protection. Therefore it is important that Shorebased Personnel have knowledge of the Convention to assist in maintaining compliance with the Convention onboard.

The International Labour Organisation has now adopted the Maritime Labour Convention and all ships greater than 500 tons, engaged in international trade that are bound by the Convention must hold a Maritime Labour Certificate documenting their compliance. This course provides an outline of MLC 2006 and what this means for seafarers onboard.

On completion of this course you will receive a Certificate of Completion from Ocean Technologies Group, powered by Marlins, Seagull and Videotel.

Please note:  The assessment part of this course must be completed onboard ship or onshore in the offices of a registered shipping company or maritime institution. The Master/senior officer onboard or a senior official onshore must sign and stamp your application form to verify they have directly supervised your eLearning assessment(s). For Flag approved courses, please refer to the 'approvals' section below for further information.
