Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) officials have routinely attended all meetings at the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the International Labour Organization (ILO) (the two United Nations Agencies that consider maritime matters) since May 2010 where seafarer (a) training, (b) safety and (c) welfare standards have been on the agenda.<\/p>
<\/p>
The IMO has a regular programme of meetings that discuss these matters, averaging around 15 per year. In addition, several working groups will also have these matters on their agenda.<\/p>
<\/p>
The details of the key topics of discussion can be found on the IMO\u2019s website. The next scheduled committee meeting of the IMO that is predominantly focused on seafarer (a) training, (b) safety and (c) welfare standards is on 16th<\/sup> May 2018.<\/p> <\/p> At the ILO, MCA officials have attended the following official meetings since May 2010:<\/p> <\/strong><\/p><\/td> Meeting<\/strong><\/p><\/td> Date<\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr> a) Training<\/p><\/td> Meeting of Experts to Adopt Guidelines on the Training of Ships\u2019 Cooks<\/p><\/td> 23 \u2013 27 September 2013<\/p><\/td><\/tr> b) Safety<\/p><\/td> Meeting of Experts on Maritime Occupational Safety and Health<\/p><\/td> 13 \u2013 17 October 2014<\/p><\/td><\/tr> c) Welfare standards<\/p><\/td> 1st<\/sup> Preparatory Special Tripartite Committee on the Maritime Labour Convention<\/p><\/td> 20 \u2013 22 September 2010<\/p><\/td><\/tr> <\/p><\/td> Tripartite Meeting of Experts to Adopt Port State Control Guidelines for Implementation of the Work in Fishing Convention, 2007 (No. 188)<\/p><\/td> 15 \u2013 19 February 2010<\/p><\/td><\/tr> <\/p><\/td> Joint ILO/IMO Working Group on Medical Fitness Examinations of Seafarers and Ships\u2019 Medicine Chest<\/p><\/td> 26 \u2013 20 September 2011<\/p><\/td><\/tr> <\/p><\/td> 2nd<\/sup> Preparatory Special Tripartite Committee on the Maritime Labour Convention<\/p><\/td> 12 \u2013 14 December 2011<\/p><\/td><\/tr> <\/p><\/td> Global Dialogue Forum for the Promotion of the Work in Fishing Convention, 2007 (No.188)<\/p><\/td> 15 \u2013 17 May 2013<\/p><\/td><\/tr> <\/p><\/td> 1st<\/sup> Special Tripartite Committee on the Maritime Labour Convention<\/p><\/td> 7 \u2013 11 April 2014<\/p><\/td><\/tr> <\/p><\/td> Meeting of Experts to Adopt Flag State Guidelines for the Implementation of the Work in Fishing Convention<\/p><\/td> 21 \u2013 25 September 2015<\/p><\/td><\/tr> <\/p><\/td> 2nd<\/sup> Special Tripartite Committee on the Maritime Labour Convention<\/p><\/td> 8 \u2013 10 April 2016<\/p><\/td><\/tr> <\/p><\/td> International Conference on Labour Exploitation in the Fishing Sector in the Atlantic Region<\/p><\/td> 25 \u2013 26 November 2016<\/p><\/td><\/tr> <\/p><\/td> Working Group of the Special Tripartite Committee of the Maritime Labour Convention<\/p><\/td> 3 \u2013 5 April 2017<\/p><\/td><\/tr> <\/p><\/td> Tripartite Meeting on issues relating to Migrant Fishers<\/p><\/td> 18 \u2013 22 September 2017<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> <\/p> The next scheduled committee meeting of the ILO to discuss seafarer welfare is 23rd<\/sup> April 2018.
