ILO Maritime Labour Standards

The International Labour Organization (ILO) Maritime Labour Standards are a set of regulations aimed at ensuring fair treatment and safe working conditions for seafarers worldwide. These standards cover various aspects, including work hours, pay, health services, and living conditions on ships. They help protect seafarers’ rights, promote decent work, and ensure that maritime labor practices meet international safety and welfare criteria. By setting these standards, the ILO seeks to enhance the quality of life for those working at sea and to create a more responsible and sustainable shipping industry.
