Полный текст конвенции на английском и русском языке доступен по адресу: https://seatracker.org/viewtopic.php?t=78 On 20 August, the International Labour Organisation (ILO) announced it had received the 30th ratification, fulfilling the last condition for the entry into force of the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 (MLC, 2006). The charter sets out the labour rights of the world’s 1.2 million seafarers. The ratifying countries include major flag states such as Liberia, the Marshall Islands, the Bahamas, Panama, Norway, Singapore and Cyprus and hold almost 60 per cent of the world’s tonnage. This means that the maritime industry will have a truly international standard for seafarers’ working and living conditions. The ILO has confirmed that the entry into force date for the Convention will be 20 August 2013. All ships of 500 tons and above in international trade will have to be certified as complying with the legislation developed by the flag states and identified in the Declaration of Maritime Labour Compliance as well as with the shipowners’ measures to ensure ongoing compliance with the requirements. Ships without certificates or flagged to non-ratifying states will be subject to the Convention’s “no more favourable treatment clause” and may have problems when entering the ports of ratifying states. Under the MLC, 2006 every seafarer has the right to: A safe and secure workplace that complies with safety standards Fair terms of employment Decent working and living conditions on board ship Health protection, medical care, welfare measures and other forms of social protection Quite a lot of work will have to be done by authorities, ship owners, crew manning agencies, recognised organisations and ship owners before ships can be certified, and the clock is now ticking.
