MLC 2006 (Maritime Labor Convention 2006)

The Maritime Labor Convention 2006 (MLC 2006) is an international treaty designed to protect the rights of seafarers worldwide. It establishes minimum working and living conditions for those on ships, including fair wages, work hours, safety standards, and access to medical care. The convention aims to ensure that seafarers are treated fairly and can work in decent conditions, promoting social justice in the maritime industry. By ratifying MLC 2006, countries commit to enforcing these standards, enhancing the quality of life for millions of maritime workers globally.
