Summary

Protection of seafarers held captive as a result of piracy or armed robbery. Enforcement provisions for legislation implementing ILO work in fishing convention

This consultation ran from
6pm on 18 June 2020 to 11pm on 3 August 2020

Consultation description

This consultation seeks your views on UK proposals for implementation of amendments to the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 (MLC) adopted in 2018. The amendments ensure that while seafarers are held captive as a result of piracy or armed robbery, their seafarer employment agreement (SEA) remains in force and they must continue to be paid.

The proposed Regulations also include corrections to legislation implementing the Work in Fishing Convention, 2007. Those corrections are explained, and comments invited, in a separate consultation document.

Your views are sought on whether the proposed Merchant Shipping (Maritime Labour Convention and Work in Fishing Convention) (Amendment) Regulations, attached at annex A, adequately implement the MLC 2018 amendments.

A full list of consultation questions is contained in Section 5 of this consultation.
