FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT: Enumerate your different experiences relative

to the enforcement and application of the Maritime Labour Convention
(MLC).

As a non-seafarer and working in a manning agency. I don’t have any experience

onboard a ship but I do believed that MLC is very important for our seafarers as it brings
together international minimum standards that ensure decent work for the seafarers around the
world whose job is very essential to international trade as well as in the tourism and recreational
activity. I also believe that shipowners should comply with MLC 2006 as they are liable to bear
the costs for the seafarers working on their vessels in respect of sickness and injury occurring
between the date of commencing duty and the date upon which they are deemed duly
repatriated, or arising from their employment between those dates. They should also provide
financial security to assure compensation in the event of the death or long-term disability of
seafarers due to an occupational injury, illness or hazard, as set out in national law, the seafarer’s
employment agreement.
