The Definitive Guide to Seafarer Welfare Compliance

Published by the International Chamber of Shipping, this fourth edition explains how shipowners, managers and crewing agencies can meet their obligations under the Maritime Labour Convention. It covers areas such as safe drinking water, personal protective equipment, medical care at sea, seafarer repatriation, connectivity for crew and the reporting of deaths on board, and takes account of the 2022 amendments that came into force in December 2024.

Written with input from the organisation that helped negotiate the Convention on behalf of shipowners, it is aimed at senior managers, designated persons ashore, masters and senior officers responsible for crew welfare and compliance.

It is a practical reference rather than general reading, intended for anyone managing compliance obligations under the MLC.
