Bulletin 303: 2016 Amendments to MLC2006

2016 Amendments to the Maritime Labour Convention 2006, as amended

Application: All ship-owners, operators, masters and officers of merchant ships and authorised Classification societies, Barbados Registrars and Nautical Inspectors

Further to Bulletin 296, please be advised that we have updated our DMLC Part II, section 11 to include ‘harassment and bullying’. The Maritime Labour Certificate has also been amended, to include the box allowing for the Certificate to be extended following a renewal survey, pending a new Certificate being issued. For ships already issued with full term MLC Certificates issued by this Administration, whose validity is beyond 8 January 2019, the new format will be used on completion of renewal surveys, or in case of any amendments required to the certificates such as a change of the ship’s name or a change of address of the ship owner etc.
