<p>There is no direct connection between the licensing of offshore renewables projects
and the standards for living and working conditions applying to supply boats working
in the sector. The standards for living and working conditions for seafarers on all
merchant ships is the International Labour Organization’s Maritime Labour Convention,
2006 (“the MLC”). The UK’s Maritime and Coastguard Agency has the powers to enforce
the standards of the MLC on all UK flagged ships and all other merchant ships calling
in UK ports or operating in UK territorial waters.</p>
